The key to personal style is all in the finishing touches. Accessories, that is - whether you want to add a dose of luxury, an elegant hippie vibe, a sexy gothic feel, a dainty air of femininity, or boldly gorgeous sophistication. Keri Starker, a New York City based designer offers a coveted, chic collection of one-of-kind, hand-made heirloom-bound necklaces, earrings, belts, bracelets, broaches, and more.

Each piece - be it glamorous strands of faceted rubies, oversized emerald hoops, rudilated quartz pendants - evokes exquisite artistry, flawless attention to detail and the quality and uniqueness of each stone, which is hand-picked by Starker.

Keri Starker, a native New Yorker, has been collecting the most extraordinary and opulent stones and breathtaking beads from her worldly travels for over fifteen years. And in her own life, she has always been known for her Talita Getty-inspired style and her natural knack for accessorizing. "I was always turning things I loved - semi precious and precious stones, shells, coral from a beach in Mexico, a small Buddha from a Zen fountain in my house growing up - into an accessory of some sort, so doing this is my nature," she says.

Each one of her pieces is a veritable work of art. And she draws her inspiration from her personal journeys and trips to far away lands - "even if those trips are only in my dreams," she says, "There is something magical about having something no one else in the world has, something that exists only for you," says the designer, whose style ranges from sophisticated classic to downtown cool and everything in between.

"It's about making things that reflect your personality and lifestyle and captures your spirit. It's all about being polished, not contrived, not following exactly what each trend is, but creating a very individual look that is timeless and effortlessly chic," she says, adding that doing custom pieces is her passion." What starts as a necklace could turn into a low slung belt. As I work with someone and learn her tastes and style, pieces just evolve and take on a life of their own."
