Jewelry mogul and recognized entrepreneur, Kara Ackerman, turned her simple pastime and passion into a fulfilling seventeen-year career with Kara Ackerman Designs. Combining her design skill with her native New York aesthetic, Ackerman introduces a collection infused with a distinct sense of individuality, executed beautifully due to her innate artistic ability. Ackerman states, “After years of apprenticeships and working with several of the most cutting edge designers, I started my own private Jewelry design business, seventeen years and three showrooms later, I have built the Kara Ackerman Designs brand and continue to make affordable, wearable pieces for all ages.”

Influenced by her mother’s timeless style, Ackerman credits her family as her source of design inspiration. Consisting of necklaces, bangles, bracelets, rings and earrings, Kara Ackerman Designs incorporates Aquamarine, Rhudilated Quartz, Onyx, Ruby, Topaz, and Emerald stones to create unique and exotic fine jewelry. Some of Ackerman’s favorite go-to items include her best-selling stackable Elizabeth Link Bracelets and Talulah Stackable Rings, available in white, yellow and rose gold. In addition, Kara Ackerman Designs offers simplistic items including a nylon water-resistant GemGirl Friendship Bracelet, as well as a GemGirl Charm Collection that enables women to design their own chain necklaces with a variety of charms.
