Unique Jewelry Design Biography
Source(google.com.pk)Deborah Armstrong -- President, Founder and creative innovator behind the Greenwich, CT based Deborah Armstrong & Company – has always had a creative side. As a child, she was immensely interested in all types of arts and crafts, anything that was hands on.
At the University of Colorado, Deborah continued the trend majoring in art and art history. After moving to Los Angeles, her first jobs were costume and wardrobe for TV programs including All in the Family and as a sculptor creating exhibits for the Los Angeles Fair. These provided the experience necessary to become a model-maker for George Lucas' Industrial Light and Magic special effects firm. At that time, sci-fi filming techniques were at their advent and Deborah had to be both inventive and somewhat engineer-minded to help build the necessary otherworldly creatures for Star Wars and its successors. With her interest in television and film piqued, Deborah moved from a career in model-making to film editing the sci-fi series Buck Rogers and Battlestar Gallactica.
After marrying Jon Connolly - screenwriter of such films as The Dream Team, Opportunity Knocks and Eddie, Deborah moved to New York City and began a career in advertising where she worked for DDB Needham on diverse accounts like Clairol, Volkswagen, Mobil Oil and Amtrack.
In the early 1990s, Deborah returned to her creative roots and started taking jewelry classes at Cecilia Bauer's Studio and Parsons School of Design. She launched her company in 1996, and now produces beautiful sterling silver jewelry with semi-precious stones and 18k gold accents under her own name. Deborah Armstrong jewelry is now available at over 300 chic boutiques, galleries and fine jewelry stores across the country.
Deborah loves what she does and has incorporated her visual and craft-making skills, as well as her ability to market and sell a product into a very satisfying and profitable career. From the very beginning, she developed a loyal following. She has been cited in the Los Angeles Times as a designer to watch. Her jewelry has been featured in many top fashion magazines and is now worn by celebrities including Halle Berry, Jennifer Connelly, Faith Hill, Heidi Klum, Susan Lucci, Diane Sawyer, Marisa Tomei, Diane Von Furstenberg, Sharon Stone and Vanessa Williams.
The "Choshen", or breastplate was first worn by the High Priest Aharon HaKohen, and subsequently by every High Priest in the First and Second Temples.
Each of its 12 stones denoted a different tribe of the 12 Tribes, and was a different color.

As an interior designer on Boston’s posh Newbury Street, Karen Sugarman was heralded for her spectacular use of color, proportion and attention to detail. These skills have now transitioned into her newest venture. . .jewelry design. After her family was transferred in 2004 from Boston to Arizona, the designer, who had previously specialized in classic interior design and historic renovation, had no historic properties to transform. With the plethora of “Arizona Tuscan” design in place, Karen decided not to add another log onto that fire.
When she was not working on projects for clients back in Boston, she decided to revise an old necklace in her jewelry armoire. The idea for a new necklace was inspired by the one she had brought back from Paris several years ago. “Although that one was lovely, I always felt it needed to be more bountiful and creative. My first prototype was a floral design. The lush bouquet format confirmed my idea and a completely new design was born. If interior design was my first love, beautiful jewelry was my second.”
When designing a necklace, Karen incorporates differing values of each colorway which allows for versatility in blending with many clothing options. Her works of art are infused with unique gemstones, pearls, vintage beads and Czech beads. The majority of her designs are constructed from either sterling silver or gold vermeil thus eliminating most jewelry allergies. Her jewelry creations look stunning with everything from blue jeans to ball gowns.
