Handworked beautiful armour for bold artisanal everyday jewelry.
Moroccan jeweler Kenza Barrada lives between Bali and Florida. Inspired by iconic women civilizations from the Greek mythology to the Egyptian era all the way to the African Maasai, her jewelry reflects independent and empowered women, that like statement jewelry to dress up with sophistication and sensuality. Kenza is a global citizen passionate about women empowerment through art defined by the fine strokes of jewelry. Every piece allows women to feel strong and independent.
Kasha Bali calls its jewelry “beautiful armour,” and having spent time with the collection we think the phrase is unusually accurate. There is real presence in the metalwork, but the handcraft and Balinese influence soften the strength. It never tips into aggressively tough jewelry for the sake of it. We particularly like the substantial rings and cuffs because they seem to give the wearer a little more posture when they go on. Jewelry has always had that psychological function too. Sometimes you put on a piece because it makes you feel slightly more formidable.
If you can dream it, you can create it. But you first must dare to dream.
