"In a world of mass-produced embellishment, embrace that which has a past, a story, a history…….." ~ Karen Lindner, owner and designer for Karen Lindner Designs. Artist and former Interior Designer Karen Lindner creates one-of-a-kind jewelry using incredible antique elements combined with precious and semi-precious stones, pearls and metals. With an innate ability for finding extraordinary vintage pieces, as well as having a passion for history and a talent for combining unexpected details, there is a sense of tangible history and an aura of found treasure in everything she makes. Karen is known for her stunning Eisenberg Pearl Scarves that are created from mint condition 1930s Eisenberg Fur clips and hand-knotted freshwater pearl strands. Originally made in Chicago, these now-redesigned clips are sold exclusively through Belle Vie Bridal Couture and Vera Wang Chicago, both located in one of the nation’s premiere bridal districts – Oak Street in downtown Chicago.
