Kara Ross inaugurates the new fine jewelry department at Elizabeth Anthony with a personal appearance from  6- 8 p.m. on Sept. 4. Often favoring unusual stones, Ross’s work defines urban elegance. Polished and unpolished stones pair perfectly with 18-karat gold and are usually beautifully offset with diamonds.

Ross will also present her handbag line which exudes luxury-with-an-edge, frequently incorporating lizard, ostrich, python and cork with a variety of precious metal hardware and jewels.
