Although wire wrapping dates back to ancient Egypt, Dana Kellin jewelers started their unique process a little more recently, when Dana was 10 and sister Elizabeth was 7. A telephone repairman came to their childhood home to do some work and left behind spools of colorful, coated wire, which Dana turned into long necklaces of interlocking links that she gave to friends.

Cut to 1990, when Dana was working as an editor for WWD and W Magazine and making jewelry to manage stress. A friend who owned a showroom and encouraged the sisters to start a business. Today, that simple technique has evolved into the intricate, meticulous, mind-numbingly detailed process that Dana Kellin jewelers have come to be known for.
