Marisa Klass

Fine Jewelry Designer. Toronto

Toronto-based and NYC-educated fine jewelry designer Marisa Klass got her start at the ripe age of nine years old, honing her skills every summer at Arts & Crafts. But her career happened almost as an accident. After a brief stint in the world of interior design didn’t nab her attention – she began creating beautiful ornate pieces that delicately adorned her neck and ears. But her profession took a high note once her elaborately colorful self-made creations started garnering the attention of everyone around her – she knew she was onto something. Her one-of-a-kind magnetic creations mix elements of bold costume jewelry, feminine charm and whimsical chandelier details – complementing any outfit. Scratch that – Klass’s gems ARE the outfit. “I work in 18k matte gold, small diamonds and semi precious stones and I LOVE color – it’s my thing. I think it adds personality. If someone isn’t that big into color, a small piece of jewelry can do so much for an ensemble. In fact, people tell me my pieces are often topics of conversation” she says. And as we expected, the most difficult part of her job is parting with her creations – especially those insanely glamorous diamond colored stacking rings. “I find it hard to part with my work”, she says “but I love seeing people enjoy wearing my pieces”. But at the end of the day, between her coveted Jo Malone Vitamin E lip gloss, staples from J.Crew and her much-loved leopard flats (and of course her family), she (and we) are obsessed with her eight year old Bernese Mountain Dog Charlie. We think he rocks those Chanel leather flip-flops quite handsomely!

I was attracted to the spectrum of color and playful sensibility of this belt. The bold jacket stopped me in my tracks - I had to have it!

I love my mood board, it continuously is evolving with me. I find inspiration in so many random things and I love being able to look up and be inspired while I am designing at my work table.

Initially I purchased these shoes to wear to my sister's wedding with my ethereal J. Mendel gown but have found myself wearing them more casually.

Thought this Miu Miu dress was a fun piece, kind of like a blank canvas to showcase my jewels.

I bought this bag about four years ago, I wanted a functional but fantastic bag with a long strap that I could throw all the things I need for three little kids in. These are some jewels from my collection- I love that you can wear just one alone or throw a whole bunch of them together on a chain.

I live in my stacking rings; when they are on all together they almost look velvety! Color makes me happy - I never get tired of this little burst of color!

I got this Marc jean vest back when I was studying in New York, my six year old wants me to keep it for her!

I love that this isn’t just a typical trench and that it has a bit of character with the puffy skirt. This is one of my favourite necklaces from my collection- big bold stones set in 18k matte gold with a few links in between.

I have always loved the chic, sophisticated look of the woven Bottega – I needed a little edge with the blue. I love everything that Tomas Meier does for Bottega.
