WXYZ Jewelry is designed and produced by Laura Wass in Brooklyn, NY. While a student at the University of Pennsylvania, she studied goldsmithing techniques and contemporary jewelry design with courses at Alchimia in Florence, SUNY New Paltz, and UArts. Upon graduating, she entered the jewelry industry working for CFDA award winner Philip Crangi and Giles & Brother, a position that provided her the distinct opportunity to manage design development for collaborations with brands such as Reed Krakoff, Coach, Swarovski and DVF. Wass launched WXYZ Jewelry for the Fall/Winter 2012 Season.
