La Kaiser Jewelry
Cindy Kaiser; A Swiss native, born and raised in Zimbabwe and now living the “American dream” in the windy city of Chicago.
She moved down to South Africa after high school was complete and received her BA in Visual Arts, specializing in Creative Jewelry and Metal Design. With her degree in hand, she hit the road once again. After a grueling 22 hour long flight, she arrived amongst the star-studded streets of Los Angeles and started a new batch of studies in Fashion at FIDM. She also apprenticed for Michael Schmidt Studios, in downtown Los Angeles and had the most phenomenal time assisting on the design and manufacture of A-list celebrity costumes forRihanna, Madonna, the Black Eyed Peas and Kelly Rowland, to name a few.
Ever since the day she left Africa, she knew that she wanted to be independent and build a lifestyle that would allow her to be creative, maintain a flexible schedule and give her the freedom to spend time between the two continents (Africa and Europe) that she had personal ties to. So, she took the plunge and started working on her own jewelry line “La Kaiser” and here she is today! Designing and manufacturing jewelry between Chicago, Jaipur and overseas, drawing upon colorful travels and European adventures for design inspiration and donating to charities of her choice in Zimbabwe and the USA, such as theAnti Cruelty Society.
