The Kir Story A fascination with the idea that a well-made piece of jewelry may one day become an heirloom inspired Kir Boedecker to design her first piece of jewelry nearly twenty years ago. Sterling silver and 18 karat gold designs adorned with semi-precious stones and pearls are the foundation of the KIR Collection. KIR also pays homage to exotic cultures by using detailed textures, unusual finishes, materials and techniques some of which have been passed down from generation to generation. The hand-crafted feel and the finest craftsmanship create a striking, versatile and extremely wearable collection. The collection is influenced by Kir’s passions for exotic cultures, music and nature. Together, these influences evoke an element of playfulness, adventure and empowerment for those who wear it.
