Chic Spotlight: The Kefi Collection

These functional art pieces will hold your glasses while encouraging you to live with intention.

The Chic Guide: What is The Kefi Collection?
Allison Paley, Founder of the Kefi Collection: The Kefi Collection was created by the effort of women with a passion to consciously design wearable, functional art out of fine gems and raw materials with deliberate, delicate intention. Kefi was designed to compliment your eye-ware; creating an aesthetic, charming hold around your neck – so you no loner need to wonder where you placed your glasses with our functional pendants that you can hold your glasses in.

The Chic Guide: What’s the inspiration behind it?
Paley: I was enchanted every time my father would bring me home a new piece of jewelry from his travels. I find my passion for creating fine jewelry in the art of knowing.  The craft of understanding each piece that I own – the origin of each stone, the designer, where did their vision derive? How did this become the piece that found its way to me? I seek inspiration in the detail and the creative process behind each piece Kefi creates. Highlighting the beauty of unusual stone & the euphoric blend of metals and rock – Kefi was created to inspire others to know the Why in each piece that they wear.

The Chic Guide: Who’s behind it?
Paley: I’m the founder of The Kefi Collection, and work alongside my jeweler Dominique.

The Chic Guide: What makes The Kefi Collection unique?
Paley: Kefi is made of hand-selected, repurposed metals and stones with history, energy, and defining, alluring factors. Kefi was created with sustainability in mind, thoughtful time and attention to detail – producing an ethically sound, playful, luxurious line of pendants. Cherishing these values of authenticity, The Kefi Collection suggests a new vision to the realm of pendants and their purpose – inviting each person to see life through a different, unique eye.

The Chic Guide: Is there anything new on the horizon?
Paley: Kefi’s second launch will also include necklaces and more functional pendants.
