The Zina Sterling Silver Story
Eclectic and versatile with more than a dash of fun--People often use these words to describe not only Zina's designs, but also Zina herself. From her earliest days, she was surrounded by varied influences and characterized by her desire for new experiences.
Inspired by her father's example and surrounded by the artisans in his New York jewelry factory, Zina fell in love with design. Zina entered the jewelry world, just as inventive designers were beginning to see the possibilities of sterling silver. The artistic instincts that first emerged in her childhood were there, made stronger by her travel adventures.
Zina loves moving forward and she views life with an artist's eye. She uses these qualities to create jewelry that is fresh and innovative, fashion-forward and accessible. Jewelry that takes you from the "boardroom to the ballroom" and tells the world how you want to be interpreted.
About the Designer
Zinas love affair with design began when she was twelve years old, working for her father in his New York jewelry factory.
In 1973 she involved herself with a movement of emerging young designers who recognized the limitless possibilities of working in sterling silver. Her sense of style and fine ability to contribute to the future of modern women, enabled her to develop a remarkable collection of innovative and sophisticated pieces.
One can immediately recognize the signature style of Zina, by its exquisite, architectural grace and glamour. The successful interplay of semi-precious stones and enamel, with contrasting surfaces and textures in smooth silver, is what makes her work so unique.
She is determined to introduce jewelry that can truly be carried over "from the boardroom to the ballroom."
