Husband and wife jewelry designers make one of a kind pieces affordable

Finding one of a kind jewelry that can be worn everyday of the week without having to refinance your house can be a daunting task. What isn’t costly, is usually cheap not chic and can easily be found in any mall across the country. Enter Limón Verde, an online jewelry boutique based in Atlanta that specializes in unique, handcrafted pieces that are both original and affordable. The designs, which are both classic and contemporary, reveal not only the steady hand that produced them but a delicate beauty that has been pushed aside due to the bold looks stomping down the runways as of late.

Husband and wife, Kevin and Kalen Redmon are the force behind the collection that launched just this past summer. Kalen serves as the creative force behind the designs, hand selecting and designing pieces that are brought to life by artisans specializing in Momposa Filigrana ( Mompox Filigree), a technique native to Colombia. The technique was rediscovered by Kalen on trip to visit family in Colombia, where she fell in love with the jewelry produced from finely spun silver. With a push from her husband, the duo took what began as a love for the unique jewelry they found while traveling and have turned it into growing business that they hope will one day give their 9-5s a run for their money.

Currently the couple is doing their part to aid victims of the earthquake in Haiti. A portion of the proceeds from all Limón Verde sales dating from January 1 until Valentine’s Day will be donated to the American Red Cross. In addition to their charitable efforts, they are continuing to focus on expanding their brand into a line consisting of jewelry made with semiprecious stones, including one native to the Dominican Republic  which is the homeland of Kalen's mother.
