Internationally-recognized designer Paul Klecka has been creating stunning jewelry for more than 20 years, winning just about every award offered by the industry, from Jewelers of America's New Designer of the Year in 1989 to DeBeers Diamonds Today Award to the AGTA Spectrum Award.

Entering college with highly developed artistic and musical abilities, by his junior year Paul had completed all of the required courses for the Bachelor of Fine Arts degree but had not yet selected a major. Assuming that a jewelry class would be an easy "A" and that he would meet lots of girls and probably sell some jewelry, he enrolled.

He discovered that the precision of metal techniques coupled with the boundaries imposed by the human form provided a structure that enabled his artistic ideas to blossom, and jewelry became his focus. He did meet girls; sold some jewelry; and continued to graduate with a Master of Fine Arts Degree in jewelry and metalsmithing.

Nearly thirty years later, he distributes his jewelry designs in retail channels as diverse as Neiman-Marcus and QVC. He is the recipient of numerous industry awards which represent the range of precious materials:

De Beers Diamonds Today Competition

Diamonds of Distinction Awards

Diamonds-International Award finalist

American Gem Trade Association Spectrum Award

Jewelers of America New Designer of the Year 1989

Jewel Award

Fashion editors have written, "Paul Klecka hits the mark of what todays fashionable consumer is seeking" ". . .clean simple lines infused with fashion and innovation. He has his finger on the pulse of the jewelry arena."

Combining a disciplined use of precious metals, simplicity of detail, and the subtlety of reflective surfaces, Paul Klecka creates winning and wearable jewels that are destined to become classics.

Now designing with his mouse in CAD software rather than with traditional bench techniques, he has broken through the boundaries of traditional design with a new patent pending jewelry concept only possible through the computer-aided design process.
