Living Pearl is the work of artist, designer, and couture tailor Isa Kriegeskotte. Before launching the Living Pearl, Isa spent years behind the scenes in fashion, working in costume, accessories, and couture tailoring, including with the New York City Ballet costume shop, Rod Keenan New York, and an A-list roster of private clients and stylists. 

After more than a decade working intimately with clothing, Isa turned her attention to jewelry, drawn to the permanence of materials that couldn’t be tailored or altered. Living Pearl officially launched in 2021 as an expression of that shift and her belief that accessories can say more about the person wearing them than the label on their clothes.
