LOLA GIANT Vendor Profiles: Early Jewelry, Kylie Grater



Kylie Earlene Grater of Early Jewelry draws upon her rural upbringing on the great plains of Kansas as meditations for her natural style and the utilization of materials such as feathers, bone, wood, and leather. Early Jewelry established itself in 2004 as an independently owned and operated design company that is committed to the use and/or reuse of natural, sustainable and recyclable materials; all of which are incorporated into classic, everyday wear and one of a kind jewelry items.

The simplicity of rural life, the changing of the weather, and the cycles of planting, and harvesting have all influenced Grater’s approach to creating jewelry. Her close contact with these organic influences, in part, determines her materials.
