Designer Karen Karch scrambles up a bit of India, Victorian England, Egypt, and the Southwest to produce jewelry that embodies subtle individuality, delicate designs, and strong, clean lines. Karch's unique shop is a magical place; her tastes for designing jewelry and décor have some strong parallels. An old organ with an aquarium in its base, jukeboxes, and a porthole serve as vitrines for her unique creations combining gold, platinum, silver, precious and unusual stones, and leather. She has an affinity for the eclectic--beneath cases of refined rings and ruby necklaces grows a cactus garden. Karch is patient and helpful; she charms you in the same way her designs appeal in that personalized, handcrafted manner. Prices range from $150 to $8,000.
