Artist's
Statement
"Designing and producing custom jewelry has brought much joy to
my life.
I never tire of the constant
scrollwork that embellishes every piece.
I love the intricate detail.
Improving and blending those nostalgic designs of the American West
with classic shapes and colorful
jewels is
the essence of my work. This hardy, made-to-be-worn jewelry
elegantly offers a passionate link with
the past that can be treasured today and
passed on as heirlooms to future
generations."
This Web site is
intended to showcase the custom jewelry design of Kim Klass that you
can order directly from the designer and
also to provide a place where you can purchase some of her "in-stock"
jewelry such as the "KK Designs for Extasia."
Extasia is a
Northern California-based, Victorian-style jewelry company, owned by
Stephanie Freydont. Kim and Stephanie joined forces about five
years ago to produce a beautiful line of sterling silver engraved
jewelry including Extasia signature hand-pressed glass intaglios.
The line has continued to grow and now includes beautiful cameos,
crosses, and filigree hearts. It has sold in many prestigious
stores including the National Gallery in Washington, D. C. Kim
keeps some Extasia jewelry in stock available for purchase on
KK Designs for Extasia and more can be seen on the
Extasia Web site.
Kim's long-time
business associate, Barbara Couture of Couture West also represents
Kim at many horse related trade show events, particularly cutting-horse
competitions. Sometimes Kim makes appearances at these shows,
but Barb is always there to promote Kim's special, one-of-a-kind
pieces, and the Victorian / Western line that Kim designed for Extasia.
We invite you to
explore the jewelry collections below and buy an in-stock piece or
order a special ranch-brand or special custom jewelry item today.
Ask Kim how you can carry her designs in your store.
