Kris and Kim Nations of Kris Nations, the jewelry line, made a recent appearance on a local Bay Area TV show, The View from the Bay (which crazily enough I was on twice last year). Coquette readers will know that I frequently showcase some of Kris' beautiful jewelry because quite frankly it's some of the best that's out there. It is most of my jewelry that I wear on a daily basis and thankfully I happen to be good friends with them. There used to be a time when the sisters lived downstairs from me in our old apt flat on Steiner St. Back then, I only needed to run downstairs to borrow a necklace to complete the perfect outfit. It was a dangerous slippery slope because of course as time progressed, we all moved away and got married, so these days I find myself splurging each season on a few great pieces that I know I'll wear over and over again. The recently won the Rising Star Award from the National Association of Women Business Owners. If you're a jewelry designer or a fan, watch the video of Kris and Kim Nations and get inspired.
