She wanted women to have pieces that made them feel happy and confident.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Twenty-five years later \u2014 with Daryl Hannah, Miley Cyrus, Pink and Lauren Conrad as clients, and Wicked and Erewhon collaborations under her belt \u2014 Karmes\u2019 intuition that women want to buy themselves jewelry proved more than accurate.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt\u2019s hard to believe it has been 25 years,\u201d says Karmes, who always wears the brand\u2019s red beaded bracelet with a diamond hamsa, an emblem of protection. \u201cWhat began as a small collection of meaningful charms has grown into an entire world of jewelry filled with sentiment, protection, love, laughter and so much more.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"671\" height=\"864\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Vogue_Standard_06-11-2014_1-Cover-Kate-Moss-1.jpg\" alt=\"Kate Moss wears Sydney Evan necklace\" class=\"wp-image-319560\"  \/>Kate Moss dons a Sydney Evan custom script \u201cKate\u201d necklace on the December 2014 cover of British VogueCredit: Courtesy Sydney Evan<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sydney Evan makes bracelets, earrings, necklaces, rings and body jewelry in 14k gold and diamonds, with popular items like \u201cLove\u201d script necklaces and bracelets, beaded gemstone bracelets with charms and evil eye pendants. Since shifting the narrative beyond the idea that jewelry is reserved for gift-giving and special occasions, Karmes is looking to jump on the next big consumer move.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI see women returning to the smaller designs I created when I first started,\u201d she says. \u201cWhen I launched the brand, gold was around $600 an ounce; today, it is hovering around $4,500. That makes it much harder for women, especially younger women, to purchase fine jewelry for themselves. I\u2019m focused on creating pieces at a range of price points so there is something for everyone.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1200\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/JP3781-Y6.5-1200x1200.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-319559\"  \/>Sydney Evan Classic Punk collection ringCredit: Courtesy Sydney Evan<img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1890\" height=\"1762\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Rosanne-scaled-e1792107134571.jpg\" class=\"wp-block-cover__image-background wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" data-object-fit=\"cover\"  \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center is-style-heading has-white-color has-text-color has-link-color has-lg-font-size wp-elements-3 wp-block-paragraph\">Have Questions?
