Claudia
Endler is passionate about jewelry, art, architecture, design, and self-expression.
So, after a successful career as a designer representative in the fashion
industry, Claudia’s passions and talents collided, culminating in
the formation of Claudia Endler Designs — now one of Los Angeles’
loading contemporary jewelry design enterprises.
By combining elements from graphic design,
art, and architecture, the essence of CIaudia’s jewelry designs
is to illuminate the unique qualities that define each person, individually.
CIaudia’s designs offer distinctive alternatives to the traditional
matrimonial fare. "Jewelry is body Ianguage. I see it as a way to
discover, express, and reveal- l use the power of proportion, attention
to detail, and the omission of the non-essential elements to bring each
piece to its minimum and purest form," Claudia said.

 |
|
"Timeless modernity”’
is how Claudia describes style of her work, creating mostly custom
pieces at revealing subtle aspects of an individuaI’s taste,
and desires. When designed to such personal specitlcations, it
shows the wearer’s confidence, and that, says, "is
truly sexy. "
Claudia’s designs have received
critical acclaim, prestigious design awards and nominations such
as the AGTA Spectrum Awards. Most recently the Phyllis Award for
Design, a spot on My Fox L.A.’s Jewelry Hot List and a nomination
in 2007 for Colored magazine’s Favorite Designer. Her designs
occupy the private collections of some of L.A's top cultural leaders,
museum curators, architects, gallery directors,
and other jewelry designers.
Currently under construction and
scheduled to in 2010, the Cero Gallery and Forum for Art, Architecture
and Design will not only showcase the works of Clasudia Endler
Designs - it will revive the artistic tradition of the French
salon, in Los Angeles, bringing artists of all media and genres
together regularly to collectively promote the local arts community.
