Katie Diamond to open second Gift & Lifestyle store on Church Street in Montclair

Jewelry Designer Katie Diamond's luxe gift, jewelry & apothecary boutique joins the Montclair community

New to the neighborhood, jewelry designer Katie Diamond will be opening up her second location at 74 Church Street, mid March. In a historic building full of old world charm, the store will specialize in surprisingly affordable yet elevated gift & lifestyle pieces. Katie Diamond's store will focus on jewelry (sterling silver to 14k), accessories (handbags & scarves) and apothecary items (lovely essential oil blends, luxurious candles & silky hand creams).

Diamond is focused on giving her customers the chance to walk out of the store with a custom piece - at any price point. Name plate bar necklaces will be available to be hand stamped on the spot. Makeup pouches and travel bags can be monogrammed. Also tempting - the opportunity to sit down with Katie herself for a fine jewelry custom consultation. Any ladies out there interested in remounting an old engagement ring?

Carefully curated brands with an emphasis on all-natural ingredients, sustainable materials, eco-conscious processes and support for small designers will fill the new store. Among many - Katie Diamond, Annie Bukhman, Sarah Martinez, Muche et Muchette, Voluspa, Aydry & Co., Chive, Margaret Solow, Olivine Atelier, Hortense & Tracey Tanner.

About Katie

Diamond’s flagship store in Ridgewood, NJ opened just short of 2 years ago and continues to attract stylish shoppers seeking special gifts. The store, located at 570 N. Maple Ave. is set in one of the oldest buildings in the historic town and brings a much desired Brooklyn edge to the neighborhood. Katie’s journey in the jewelry business began while studying goldsmithing under Cecilia Bauer. Motivated by her newfound knowledge, Katie began experimenting with her own design. What began as custom engagement rings and a few special pieces for friends & family quickly grew into an entire collection. Katie’s design aesthetic is globally infused from antique textiles, Moorish architecture, Ancient Egypt and even punk rock. It has landed itself placement in over 100 prestigious locations in the United States & around the world including Barneys New York, ABC Home, Shop Bop, Free People & BHLDN.
