Designing Jewelry for 25 Years
A favorite for many years at Bloomingdale’s, Neiman Marcus, Saks Fifth Avenue and Anthropologie, Diane Katzman jewelry has graced the runway collections of Escada and Calvin Klein. Her eclectic jewelry has appeared in Elle, In Style, and Modern Bride and was featured at New York’s Museum of Arts and Design and the Jewish Museum.
Throughout Diane's life, there has always been a strong, nurturing connection between family and the jewelry business. Her great grandparents owned a jewelry store in Bayonne, New Jersey that spanned two centuries and three generations. It seemed only natural to pass along her family's passion for jewelry to her three young daughters who learned to count by stringing beads at the kitchen table. When the designs began attracting national retailers, a jewelry and accessories business was born in 1999. Today, Diane makes hand-strung jewelry that incorporates vintage and one-of-a-kind findings with beads and gems.
An award winning promo product designer, Diane has worked with hundreds of global brands including Coke, Google, and VISA. Her products are commissioned to bear the likeness of iconic characters, destinations, sports teams and corporate logos. She was chosen to design & manufacture accessories for Intel's 50th Anniversary, as well as the Beijing, London & Tokyo Olympics. Diane is especially proud of her Cause and Awareness Collections that have generated millions of dollars for organizations including the American Cancer Society, United Way, and the American Heart Association.
