Y’all know I’m a huge fan of this New Orleans-based ethnic jewelry company. Ever since I met Christine last year, I’ve been so amazed to see how much she’s grown Culture Shock. And she’s at it again.
In 2013 she started designing her own jewelry and has since created four collections, including her newest collection Rani. Her inspiration for this line came from Queen Rania of Jordan’s crown. She started sketching and ended up with a beautiful necklace and earrings (Anna from Running on Plenty styled the necklace here!).
Christine recently launched her Kickstarter campaign to fund a new 3D software, trade shows, and a lookbook. The video below really tells the story behind Culture Shock and its mission to appreciate and share other cultures. Plus, just seeing Christine sketch out her designs is pretty awesome (especially for me since I can’t even draw a good stick person).
I hope you’ll take a minute to check out Culture Shock and support this amazing local business. You can also see the line in action in New Orleans Fashion Week this month!
