To famed Sydney Evan designer, Rosanna Karmes, bigger is not always better. With ten years of success in the fine jewelry industry, Karmes’s new Shy by SE collection offers delicate luxury with the same design aesthetic that Karmes is known for with her signature Sydney Evan line.

Shy by SE is inspired by family, spirituality, and creative intuition. The pieces are subtle and small, yet make a bold statement with signature words such as loved, blessed, grace and laugh as well as meaningful and symbolic charms, which Sydney Evan is known for. The Shy by SE collection consists of designs that inspire—available as necklaces, beaded bracelets, cord bracelets, rings, and chain bracelets, all made in 14k rose, yellow, or white gold over sterling silver, featuring a beautiful bezel-set diamond.

“I designed the Shy by SE Collection to create minimal pieces of jewelry to shine delicately on the skin. Layering pieces of subtle jewelry has meaning to me—tiny words and charms layered together inspire goodness and happiness,” says Karmes.

Karmes is at the forefront of the fine jewelry market and has pioneered many trends including mixed materials in stackable beaded bracelets, whimsical pendants, statement bracelets, and fashion-forward rings. Sydney Evan was bred from Karmes’s “California chic” aesthetic mixed with her mother’s classic elegance and French-born roots, creating a collection that has become one of the most coveted jewelry brands among celebrity style icons like Sarah Jessica Parker, Emma Stone, Jennifer Lopez, Rihanna, Kelly Ripa, Gwyneth Paltrow, Jennifer Aniston, Diane Kruger, Sofia Vergara, Halle Berry, Brooklyn Decker, and Bar Rafaeli.
