St. Kilda

Nora Kogan has a gift for creating beauty, in life and in jewelry. When she was 10, her family left Russia for the St. Kilda suburb of Melbourne, Australia, a hardscrabble neighborhood she likes to describe as "bohemian." Nora carried her mother's jewelry inside a transistor radio during their exodus - and the seeds of her future were planted. She founded St. Kilda in 2004, immediately earning acclaim for her delicate color play, superb stones such as the diamond beads and Burmese rubies, and vintage techniques like milligrain settings. Nora's creations are crafted in her Brooklyn, New York studio and she appears regularly in magazines - InStyle, Self, Glamour, Real Simple, and Martha Stewart Weddings.

A portion of the proceeds from the sales of the necklace are donated to the Humane Society of the United States. Exclusively from RedEnvelope.
