A unique combination - fine art photographer and jewelry designer. Over her career, Monica Rich Kosann has managed to combine her clients’ most cherished memories and possessions into their daily wardrobes. Not only that, she has helped thousands tell their personal stories in an original way.

Monica’s began her career as a fine art portrait photographer using black & white film, a technique that is rarely seen in our now digital age. The personal nature and heirloom quality of her portraits is what influenced her passion for jewelry design. And today, she is best known for her modern interpretations of lockets. Monica Rich Kosann makes it easy to eternalize special moments, memories and events now and for generations to come.

“A piece of jewelry captures a singular idea about the woman who wears it, while a locket celebrates the story of that woman’s life—in a way, it is like a fingerprint, totally unique to the wearer,” says Kosann.
