CKLASIC DESIGNS
CKLASIC is built on the belief that jewelry should speak for itself—crafted to stand alone with bold simplicity and refined presence. Each piece is thoughtfully designed using a blend of traditional and modern techniques.
While some designs begin with the lost wax method, others are created using contemporary modeling processes—all cast in sterling silver. Once castings are received, every piece is meticulously finished by hand: polished, shaped, and stone-set using only manual techniques.
Even our simplest silhouettes—like classic hoop earrings—arrive as raw silver castings and are hand-shaped in-house to reach their final form.
Our goal is to create jewelry that holds a raw, sentimental feeling without losing the allure of the human hand. Just as importantly, we aim to keep our pieces accessible—because blending time-honored techniques with modern innovation proves you really can have it all.
Design Process
Some designs are first hand-carved in wax using traditional techniques like lost wax casting, allowing for organic forms and sculptural detail. Others are modeled using modern tools for precision, then translated into physical form through casting in sterling silver. Once cast, the process returns entirely to the hand. Each piece is polished, shaped, and refined in-house. Stones are individually set using manual techniques—never automated—preserving the tactile quality that gives every piece its soul. Whether it’s a bold ring or a simple hoop, every design goes through this hands-on process. The result is jewelry with presence, character, and craft you can feel—pieces that don’t ask for attention, but naturally draw it.
About the Designer
Candace K. is a designer born and raised in California, now based in New York City. After moving east to attend Parsons School of Design, she spent the next 7 yrs immersed in fashion—experimenting across womenswear, menswear, established brands, and independent projects of her own.
Through this exploration, she developed a deep appreciation for form, texture, and restraint—qualities that now define her approach to jewelry. In 2024, she launched CKLASIC: a focused, sculptural jewelry line built on the idea that a few meaningful pieces are more powerful than many. Every design reflects her love for craft, her eye for simplicity, and her belief that what you wear should feel like an extension of self.
