Soulbound is a unique fine jewelry venture from Kelly Zogheb, a New York City-based designer who is a Rhode Island School of Design alum. Zogheb studied fashion design and got her start in that industry, but made her way to the Gemological Institute of America where she studied jewelry design.
Now, pixel- and video game-inspired jewelry is her calling card. She wants to create jewelry for “gamers across the world.” Her latest designs break away from her two-dimensional signature, however, evoking a more whimsical feel.
Alla Belenkov is the designer behind AB Jewelry, a line that focuses on natural and organic forms.

Theresa Kaz’s namesake line is abundant in colored gemstones set in 18-karat gold.

Lulu & Shay focuses on unique sentimental pieces, like the brand’s signature Dream Ring, a piece of moveable acrostic jewelry.
Brooklyn, New York-based Leeorah Betan-Hartman handcrafts each piece herself. As indicated by her love of acrostic jewels, she is inspired by the romance and symbolism of early Victorian jewelry.
Christine Huber has worked in New York for one of the city’s most prestigious jewelry design firms for more than nine years. Her namesake line is all made locally in the city’s Diamond District.
Huber is a graduate gemologist who looks to the cosmos and antique jewelry when crafting her range of high-quality, timeless fine jewelry that is meant to last a lifetime.
