Welcome! If you just found me on Google or social media, I’m so glad you’re here. My name is Kristen and I’m the founder, designer, and lead jewelry maker at Kristen Baird® Jewelry. We’re an award-winning fine jewelry brand nestled in historic Savannah, Georgia. We do things a little differently around here, starting with our website. Think of the Kristen Baird® website as a store window. Stop by to admire the display and do some window shopping, but know there’s a whole lot more inside!
A Little Kristen Baird® History
I founded Kristen Baird Jewelry in 2015, right after graduating from SCAD. In 2017, I was awarded the Halstead Bead Grant. I was also awarded the Best Jewelry Store in Savannah for three consecutive years. During this time, my business was conducted almost exclusively in person. Clients would come to my studio to work directly with me. We would create custom pieces in the signature KBJ style or modify pieces from my existing collections.
In 2020, when doing business in person became more challenging, I moved my business online. For the first time, I was able to work with clients from all over the US (and the world)! This turned out to be a blessing in disguise, but there were some problems. Frankly, it was impossible to list every possible variation on my site, keep options current, and update prices. This led to a lot of confusion for my clients and stress for me.
So, in 2025, I decided to pare back my site and return to my original way of doing things… directly with you!
Fast Fashion? No, thank you!
We’re all used to shopping online. You browse thousands of options, purchase with a click, and find the item at your doorstep in a couple of days. While you can shop my site this way, it’s important to realize that KBJ is not a fast fashion retailer. Every piece is made-to-order right here in my Savannah studio and every piece is touched directly by yours truly. It may take a little longer than you’re used to waiting, but I promise the quality and craftswomanship are worth it. Plus, it gives me the opportunity to customize every piece for you!
Gemstones, Customization, and Options
My website only scratches the surface of what I have to offer. You may see two or three gemstone options listed, but I can build pieces with almost any gemstone you want, plus options you’ve probably never heard of! I also offer a variety of metals you won’t see listed, like platinum, 18K rose gold, or even two-toned options. If you can dream it, I can probably do it!
Let’s Work Together!
All of this is to say that the best way to purchase KBJ Jewelry is to reach out to me directly. When you fill out my Contact Form, your message is delivered right to my personal inbox, not to a member of my team. I would love to get to know you, either virtually or here in Savannah.
Let’s create something beautiful together!
