OUR STORY + MISSION

{ OUR STORY }

Marylea Ablen Conrad is an accomplished and talented designer, born and raised in Sydney, Australia with a Design degree in “Fashion and Textiles Design” from the University of Technology, Sydney. No stranger to traversing the globe, Conrad’s countless vacations around the world that began during childhood, have been a powerful source of inspiration for her work and her deep love for nature. In 2008, she created [KI•ELE] jewelry named after her youngest daughter — a coastal chic, Hawaii brand focused on embracing sustainability. And today, Conrad’s passion for our planet and its people continue to grow through “Kiara Conrad,” named after her first born.

{ MISSION }

 "Style doesn't have to cost the planet."

Intentional fashion jewelry designed to uplift + empower women.
And where style doesn’t have to cost the planet.

 Kiara Conrad is focused on empowering and including all women in style. It is a fashion forward brand that is also classic and sustainable. Kiara creates quality, affordable luxury jewelry, incorporating earth-friendly metals and materials that make fashion and its trends truly accessible and better for our planet.

Our jewelry attributes handmade, hammered textured finishes in 18K gold vermeil, recycled brass, recycled sterling silver and 14K gold-filled, which retains its high quality and are far better metals for the environment. We also incorporate natural, semi-precious gemstones and freshwater pearls into our fashion jewelry. And a portion of our annual proceeds will directly support “One Tree Planted,” which continues to strive for global reforestation. And for families and their children at “St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital,” because we believe that giving back is the truest form of success.
