ABOUT THE MAKER Illene Klein is the jewelry designer and founder of Sophia Roc, a custom jewelry brand based in New York City. Her connection with nature and insatiable curiosity are the driving cause behind her designs. Klein was never one to bow to expectations or remain stagnant, her bold energy always matches her statement collections and after years of receiving tremendous support from her friends, she decided to share her talent with the world. Her inspiration comes from movements of the glistening sea and the transformation of the metal with heat is a key tenet of Sophia Roc creations. She sees each individual piece as a labor of love with a unique energy. Made to seek out its corresponding owner, and a reminder that spirituality and nature can guide us through any obstacle to become a blessing and beauty. You can find her throughout New York City participating in showcases, sharing her infectious energy with all those willing to get lost in her art.
