On a dusty seven-hour car ride home from Santa Fe, Dia Kline had a vision of creating a funky line of jewelry. During her holiday, she’d visited a local flea market and was inspired by jewelry she’d seen made from vintage gaming pieces. She knew she could improve upon the idea and create a unique line of jewelry by adding her unique artistic twist to the designs. By the end of her journey, she had conceptualized a complete product line and a method of production, created a company name inspired by that dusty drive home through the West and had put together a plan of action. The following week, she sold her first bracelet. And with that, a journey began that has since turned Lady Luck® Jewelry into a nationally recognized company, a leader in environmental jewelry design, and made Dia Kline into an honest to goodness recognized and collected artist!
Lady Luck® Jewelry is based in Niwot, Colorado, was created on Dia’s dining room table in 1999.
Each piece is hand-chosen and goes through Dia's meticulous selection process ensuring that only the most unique and beautiful pieces are incorporated into the jewelry. The styles of jewelry are simple and eye catching, yet bold in their statements. Rather than complicating the jewelry and visually competing with vintage collectibles, the supplementary beading and designs are striking and flattering, yet simple in form. The idea is that the collectible should catch your eye, not any of the surrounding elements, which then allows the pieces to speak for themselves - changing jewelry from simple accessories to pieces of personal expression. Lady Luck® Jewelry stands a cut above as a unique, affordable and eye-catching “must-have” jewelry collectible.
Lady Luck® Jewelry offers truly unique and distinctive jewelry that will bring you admirers every time you wear it. We really do mean it when we say, “Don’t wear your Lady Luck® unless want to talk.” because you will be complimented and questioned constantly while wearing your pieces. To ensure you know the unique history of your piece, we include a product description card with every item. We do recommend memorizing the information since you’ll repeating it so often.
ABOUT DIA:
Dia Kline grew up in Santa Fe, New Mexico, the daughter of jewelry designer/real estate agent Susan Kline. At the impressive age of 10, Dia won a contest hosted by the University of New Mexico Museum, and her jewelry was displayed in the permanent collection. Carrying on a tradition her mother started with her own pieces on display in various museum collections across the country. Being a self-taught painter helped develop Dia’s artistic eye, and a B.A. in Art History from the University of Colorado at Boulder helped her gain an understanding of her craft’s past. Under the tutelage of her father, an art dealer, Dia has learned to develop a critical eye for discovering and authenticating lost works of art. Many of these discoveries have been sold at large auction houses and now reside in museums and in prominent personal collections. In her spare time, she has painted and sold many replicas of master works of art. With a secondary interest in acting, Dia has appeared in several independent films in the Denver area including Raising The Stakes and Angels. The honor of having her jewelry in some of the most prestigious museums in our country -The National Gallery, The Smithsonian, National Museum of Women in the Arts, National Archives, and The Holocaust Museum - has been one of the artistic highlights of her life.
Dia currently lives in Niwot, Colorado with her daughter, Astrid, and considers herself one “lucky” girl.
