[dropcap custom_class=”normal”]W[/dropcap]ith just one look through Tiffany Kunz’s website, you’ll understand why her work is my latest jewelry obsession. Her elegant pieces have an eclectic tribal-meets-vintage vibe that still manages to be elegant. (Really, is anything better than this necklace or this ring?) Beyond her unique aesthetic, however, there are two even more compelling reasons to check out her work: a commitment to sustainability and a commitment to empowering impoverished women worldwide. Read more about both initiatives here.
As you’ll see, the “Beyond the Baubles” feature has taken on a new look, but the same lighthearted “get to know the designer” tidbits are there. Enjoy! (Let me know if there’s anything you’d like added to the Q&A!)

[blockquote]The proudest moment of my career was executing a challenging engagement ring and having the client love it! I opened a bottle of champagne that day and it is partly how I began my path in metalsmithing. When multiple jewelers turned down the design saying it was too much work, I was intrigued to have a go at it myself. [/blockquote]
