A Tradition Of Excellence
At Victorian Elegance Jewelry we have been providing elegant
fashion jewelry since 1986. We pride ourselves on a continuous
reputation of high quality and craftsmanship, unique designs and superb
customer service.
Our Founder, Kim Conrad, began making jewelry with
her mother and sister when she was 10 years old. They were working
on a budget and wanted more sparkling jewelry than they could afford
to buy. So, they went to the bead store and had fun creating all
kinds of fashion jewelry. Twenty years later, in 1986, Victorian
Elegance Jewelry was born.
Kim Conrad Designs, now known as Victorian Elegance Jewelry,
began in 1986 exhibiting at smaller art and craft shows. The business
has now evolved to where Victorian Elegance Jewelry is appearing
at some of the finest juried art, craft and trade shows in the western
United States. To see our schedule, go to Show
Schedule.
Then in 2000, at the request of our customers, Victorian Elegance
Jewelry became available on the web to All lovers of Victorian
Fashion Jewelry. All of us at Victorian Elegance Jewelry
hope you enjoy wearing it as much as we enjoy creating it. Thank
you for helping make our dream become one of yours.
We use a wide variety of the finest quality materials in our jewelry:
Swarovski Austrian Crystal, Czech Glass, semi-precious stones
and pearls. Our metals include 14K gold-filled, Sterling
Silver, Victorian Brass, Victorian Blackened and Victorian Silver.
Swarovski crystal is the finest cut crystal made for jewelry
in the world. Daniel Swarovski's company became the world leader
in cut crystal when, in 1895, he invented a machine designed specifically
to cut glass. Glass cutting, up to this time, had only been done
by hand. His new machine brought the creation of cut crystal to
a fine art. Swarovski had created a way to mass produce high quality
cut crystal for the first time.

about angels. We offer these thoughts as our blessing and tribute to you, our customer.
The person who opens the door for you, who gives you a smile when you need it
And hugs are free.
One who imparts a belief in you when you are low on that yourself.
A helping hand, a kind heart, with no requirement for return
Except to enjoy the gift that they are giving
They are the nourishment that feeds the soul
That gives you life, that carries you through.
I have also found an angel inside of me.
One who lifts me up when I'm down and laughs with me when I'm up.
When I have wallowed in pain it has gotten lost
So I must not forget to listen,
And know that there is often a wisdom in things beyond what I can see today
And trust that that little piece of God inside of me is a very worthy compass
Even though it may not make sense in the moment.
That life has a course and I am in it.
To execute the roles given to me the best I can
And know that truly being and doing the best I can is good enough.

Blessings to all of you - Kim Conrad

Hello from some of us at Victorian Elegance Jewelry. We have
other helpful elves that are part of our support staff that are
on call to make sure your jewelry is done right and on time.
We all send you our sincerest best wishes and thank you for helping
our dream become one of yours.
 Welcome
to Victorian Elegance Jewelry. A wonderland of romantically
delicate and dynamic jewelry flavors for all tastes, all seasons
and all reasons. I love expressing elegance in romantic jewelry
because it compliments everyone and never goes out of style. I've
enjoyed designing and creating this kind of jewelry for more than
16 years and sharing it with the public not only at trade shows,
but on stage, in TV, and in movies as well. At the request of many
of my customers I am excited to finally be bringing this kind of
jewelry to you on the web while continuing to share it with
you at shows. You can find a list of these events on our Show Schedule
page. I'm thrilled to be able to offer my designs to you on the
web as well as those of other gifted designers. I look forward to
sharing our creations with you and you sharing your enhanced feelings
of elegance, joy and romance with the rest of your world.
Have you ever thought about what you really love to do?
Some of those things are all together in one package; design,
jewelry, and photography. Several years ago I had
the good fortune of meeting Kim Conrad and Victorian Elegance
Jewelry (thanks Kat!). I was drawn to Kim's integrity, and her passion
for designing unique and exquisite jewelry. When I saw her line
of jewelry, I, like her customers, was convinced that once
you see it, you have to own it. I have been
photographing Kim's jewelry for the website, I get to enjoy each piece as
I capture it's beauty and uniqueness in photos.
I have the pleasure of offering you the opportunity to
"see it" as well on the Internet. And after you see it, you'll find your favorite pieces
that you will enjoy for years to come.
Let's be honest - I am a jewelry snob. For me, jewelry is
a personal expression, and I am VERY selective as to the jewelry
I wear. Working for Victorian Elegance Jewelry is like being
in heaven! Given the diversity of jewelry we offer, I am
able to find eye-enticing pieces that turn heads and subtle pieces
that whisper beauty. Yet, the greatest joy is creatively working
with our customers to find that special piece that speaks their
heart to the world. When you wear our romantic and timeless jewelry,
my wish is that you and those around you experience joy, beauty
and fun!
I have worked for Victorian Elegance Jewelry for many years creating some of
Kim's unique jewelry designs and special orders.
Kim has patiently watched me grow in my talents and
confidence. The company is very supportive and encourages creativity.
I take pride in my work and the quality that we deliver. There's
nothing like hearing that someone really liked a special piece.
It makes my work more than just assembling. We create a great experience
all around. It's been fun, hard work and very rewarding.
I was shopping for Christmas gifts when I first saw Kim's beautiful
jewelry and I knew I was in trouble. I circled her cart 3
times that day telling myself "I'm shopping for others, not myself."
Luckily, Kim sensed my strong desire, and shared that the holidays
can be more fun if you make it a time of giving to yourself, as
well as others. Then she offered me a part-time job and I immediately
accepted. It's the best way to "support my habit" of Victorian
jewelry. Every time I wear a piece I'm always complimented,
and that says it all about the quality of Victorian Elegance
Jewelry. Now I've moved away and share Kim's jewelry through the
website with everyone who sees and admires my extensive collection.
Thanks Kim, for sharing your heart and beauty with
the world.
