Things to know about Blythe, who blazed an adventurous path on the way to becoming Chief Creative Officer

Blythe Harris

Title: Chief Creative Officer
Background: After earning an MBA from Columbia and studying at Parsons School of Design in Paris, I held creative positions at Cartier & DeBeers and led accessories design at Banana Republic. But, my true passion, creating my own jewelry inspired by my grandmother and not sold in a locked case.
Inspiration: My love affair with jewelry began early on, spending untold hours poring over my Grandma Dot’s ever-growing collection. Many of these favorites were a gift from my Grandpa Bob. Though the pieces he gave were modest, each was beautifully crafted and given with love.

I think New York is such a colorful city, "a melting pot" as they say, that it continues to give me an endless palette of ideas.

Inspiration: Comes from within. I have never been able to pin-point the one particular thing. I am inspired by so many different things, people, places, culture, color, texture around me. I think New York is such a colorful city, "a melting pot" as they say, that it continues to give me an endless palette of ideas.
