What is Eklectic Strands?
Better yet ... who are they?
Erin Kimmett and Krysla Gregoriades Pedone are the "E" and "K" that make up
Eklectic Strands. Their backgrounds and journeys to becoming jewelry designers are as "eclectic" as the fine jewelry they design and hand make.Erin holds a BA in graphic design from Wichita State University and is also a Byzantine iconographer. Krysla holds a JD from Boston University School of Law, and is a licensed attorney in Massachusetts. Both Erin and Krysla began designing and making jewelry over a decade ago, but spent years cultivating their careers working in corporate environments. During this time, they continued to develop their jewelry design skills while gaining valuable experience in business, marketing and sales.
This experience would prove vital years later when Erin and Krysla became friends through their children's school and began to share their passion for jewelry design. They combined their skills to establish themselves as EKLECTIC Strands in 2004.
The EKLECTIC Strands fine jewelry line is manufactured in Massachusetts and is available in fine boutiques and jewelry stores throught the U.S. and Canada.
