It’s funny . . . I woke up with Philly on my mind and today’s designer just so happens to reside in the City of Brotherly Love. Completely inadvertent, but these days I’m starting to realize that fate has a funny way of undermining deliberate actions . . . it’s just easier go with the flow!

Anyway, Esther K makes gorgeous jewelry inspired by rambling road trips, the fabled Lenox Avenue, and Egyptian Queens . . .

Making her home in both New Orleans and New York before recently settling in Philadelphia, Esther K. draws inspiration from her travels around the globe, dusty vintage ephemera, grainy photos of dancing girls, and cast off costumes. Degrees in both fine art and fashion design have given her an eye for subtle nuances of color, texture and line. Her work continues to be inspired by time spent living in New Orleans. The city’s sultry beauty, night blooming jasmine, and raucous brass bands serve as a powerful fuel for her imagination. Esther K. also finds endless inspiration in music. From transcendent T. Rex licks to the tinny notes of Ma Rainey, you are certain to hear the strains of notes as you pass by her studio.

A former New Orleans resident, Esther K. continues to be inspired by the city. As a result, a portion of sales benefit ARTDOCS, an organization that provides affordable health care to the community’s artists.

Her beautiful pieces sell out fast. . . enjoy!
