Nola-native and internationally recognized jewelry designer, Cristy Cali, is coming to Magazine Street.

Although the exact address has yet to be determined, jewelry enthusiasts can expect to find this new hidden gem nestled quaintly between Washington and Louisiana Avenue.

Revered as a modern mystic of her time, Cali’s work infuses spiritual symbolism, New Orleans culture and other empowering inspirations, including diamonds, garnets, labradorite, and more. Cristy Cali graduated from Loyola University, where she obtained a degree in International Business. After graduating from Loyola, she received a design certification from the GIA, the Gemological Institute of America, in Carlsbad, California. Today Cali’s work can be found in a variety of fine jewelry retailers throughout southern Louisiana. You might even spot a piece or two at one of Moress’s three retail locations in Thailand!

Throughout her career, Cali has established and maintained relationships with family-owned and operated factories across the globe, each specializing in different techniques and bringing a new dimension to her designs. These unique experiences and techniques gained from her studies are exemplified through her business and creative process. Cali’s attention to detail, high quality craftsmanship, and a whole lot of love, work together to create a product unlike any other.

 

As a native of Guatemala, Cali’s inspiration to create is fueled by her desire to reconnect with her roots. This inspiration can be seen through the expansion of her creative abilities and development of new products that extend beyond the jewelry realm. In the future, Cali intends to begin incorporating the use of jade into her collections as a tribute to Guatemala, one of the world’s more prominent sources of jade mining.
