LisCar Designs

Brooklyn-based designer, LisCar, has emerged onto the jewelry scene with bold statements in precious and semi-precious stones. Culturally blended, her collection features rarely seen gemstones combined to create a serious sense of whimsy. African Agate, Indian Carnelian, and Tibetan Lapis, represent just a sampling of the stones that are translated into exceptionally unique designs.

Jamaican-born, she infuses her collection with the warmth, spontaneity, and charm of her childhood home. Using colors and shapes reminiscent of great Caribbean architects, her collection is styled to exude confidence as its cornerstone. A graphic designer by training, her vision translates into bold, culturally diverse works of art.

As a child, she was mesmerized by the crystals and pearls her grandmother used to adorn the gowns in the families’ couture shop in Kingston. As she matured, crystal and pearls gave way to jade and carnelian. The fusion of leather, metal and stone, ground each design with a unique spiritual balance. Her passion is stylizing precious and semi precious creations that reflect her joy for living. LisCar Designs has been cultivated mostly by word of mouth, through private showings and commissioned works made for a select clientele. However, the arrival of her jewelry at boutiques and jewelry stores such as Park Slope’s El Milagro and Fort Greene’s Courtney Washington is sure to place LisCar Designs firmly on the radar screen of both fashion stylists and those who love to stand apart from the crowded stream of trendy followers.

When asked which aspect of the designing is most satisfying, LisCar confesses, “It’s the ability to find that distinct quality in each person I am is creating for, and being able to craft something that uniquely speaks that trait. The length of a neck or the coloring of the eyes, they all say something special about the person who possesses them.” Using the highest quality stones, in their pure uncut form, and only those with exceptional characteristics, she produces jewelry that stands on the level of artistry; they belong in the shops on Park Avenue. Lucky for us, she’s in Brooklyn. For now. For more information about LisCar Designs or for a design consultation, please email your information to liscarsmall@aol.com. omf
