Kristall’s family lives on The Shinnecock Reservation in Southampton Long Island NY. Though self-taught in many ways, Kristall’s creative journey began early, shaped by a lifelong love for beading, looming, woodworking, and crafting with raw materials.
With a background in the fashion and creative industries—and time spent living in both the UK/London and years of travel to Hong Kong Europe and Thailand for work.
Kristall draws rich inspiration from 1970s French fashion films, sci-fi movies, and the ancient stories embedded in natural materials. Her handcrafted pieces are made in her home studio using sterling silver, brass, copper, and recycled 14k–24k gold. She works with gemstones, found objects, wampum, and upcycled metals, blending traditional techniques with a distinctly contemporary vision.
She worked as a bench jeweler and refined her technical skills at Studio Jewelers in New York, earning a Jewelry Certification, and further expanded her practice through specialized workshops at Fitzgerald Jewelry in Brooklyn.
Her work has been worn by artists and celebrities, featured in Vogue and the Santa Fe Indian Market, Nike N7, and showcased on the runway at the Relative Arts Fashion Show as Each piece is a reflection of Kristall’s layered identity and reverence for storytelling through adornment.
