Once you meet Stacy Smith the curator and owner of Stazia Loren, you want to hang out with her all day. Not only does she have one of the best vintage couture jewelry in New York City, she is super cool. Stacy has spent years traveling the world as a management executive in the entertainment industry and most recently decided to follow her passion for jewelry and fashion. As a child Stacy would visit her grandmother’s home and play with her extended collection of jewelry and pretend she was attending a royal ball. She never forgot about those moments, in fact, she is a collector of antique crowns. She has a beautiful cabinet full of crowns that she can wear everyday and pretend to be a queen if she wanted to.
When we walked into her salon we entered a room filled with luxurious artifacts. There was a Chanel necklace here, a Christian Lacroix earrings there, a Saint Laurent bracelet over in the other side and numerous of other great designers. We wanted to open the cabinets and try every single piece. Then once we thought we were done with the cabinets we saw tables filled with beautifully displayed jewelry. We felt like a kid in a candy store. We wanted it all! Stacy not only collects and sells these vintage jewelry pieces, but she also has vintage handbags like Hermes in great colors. And just when we thought we found the right spot for vintage jewelry that is both classic and trendy, we find out that Stacy is currently creating her own jewelry line as well. We see some of the samples of what’s to come and we can’t believe our eyes. Some gold cuffs, chain necklaces, and fun chokers. We are excited to discover Stazia Loren in New York and also meet a strong, independent woman like Stacy following her dreams. She is woman you want to meet and we guarantee that you will fall in love with all of her pieces like we did.
