About Us

Karen London Designs the exact fashion statement that you want to make.

Karen London has heard your questions and she has answered them - by creating Karen London Designs. She knows that women need a cure for the trove of unloved jewelry burning holes in their dresser drawers and jewelry boxes, and that the men in their lives need a reliable source for gifts, so she offers beautiful jewelry at an appropriate price.

Ladies, when was the last time you felt that the jewelry you were wearing was the perfect complement to your outfit and made you feel… special?

Is most of the jewelry you see unoriginal and just ordinary enough to end up not being worn by you more than once? - K.L.

Company History

Our company started in 1979. With small children still at home, Karen Mangiamele, the dynamo driving the Karen London Designs brand, created a way to work in her community with local women, selling jewelry at schools, hospitals, charity benefits, corporate fund raisers and everywhere women congregated.

The Secret to Karen’s success was clear to her immediately: she really listened to what women wanted to dress up their casual, business and formal attire and she gave it to them. She developed beautiful jewelry products of various types and price points and it’s no surprise that in a relatively short period of time, she developed a huge clientele that spanned many ages and demographics.

She didn’t stop there, though. She had a larger vision. Like other great businesswomen, including Donna Karan, Liz Claiborne and Judith Leiber, Karen had the courage to take bigger risks – she cut her own path and began to offer jewelry of a unique size and style, including vintage, funky, cutting edge, playful and dramatic designs.

Then, she took an even bigger risk. At a time when it was not yet fashionable, Karen included all the colors on the spectrum and experimented in mixing them; her hunch was rewarded when her business escalated to the point where she had 1000’s of delighted, private, loyal customers.

Today, Karen London Designs operates throughout the USA, and continues to add devoted buyers to her extensive roster wherever she shows up.

Still with her finger firmly on the pulse of what women want, Karen continues to stay on the cutting edge of fashion and set, rather than follow the trends.

Brand Excellence

Our ability to deliver what our customers truly need and want is the largest single factor for the success of Karen London Designs.

We know what they need and want, because we listen!

Our jewelry makes all women - young or old, big or small, feel beautiful. Each type of woman is represented in what we sell.

At Karen London Designs, we take chances; we don’t depend on old, safe styles. Yet, we do recognize a beautiful classic design and continue to provide these along with our new cutting edge designs.

We design Bridge jewelry. It’s made with semi-precious stones set in silver, plus, there’s gold for the high-end customer and gold-filled to keep the prices down for the average buyer.

As our founder says, “I have never underestimated a woman’s ability to know what she looks good in and what she wants, it’s my job to represent all women in every facet of their life path with the jewelry that I create and to make it affordable for them.”
