Iskin Sisters

We design contemporary jewelry and accessories made to last. We create necklaces, bracelets, earrings, and rings with a contemporary flair. 

Gabriela and Karina Iskin have been playing together since childhood. In 2004, the Buenos Aires-based sisters launched their first collection of playful creations. Gabriela’s industrial design background and Karina’s business background made the half-Brazilian half-Argentinean sisters a perfect team. They take inspiration from architecture, modern and contemporary art, natural landscapes, and the sense of wonder and excitement they both keep from childhood.

The unique pieces made of unconventional jewelry materials, such as leather, suede, and acrylic, are designed with the modern woman in mind. She wants it all— simplicity and a bold statement, inspiration from faraway travels and the pleasure of community and family, head-turning attention and a sense of personal space and taste — all the while craving comfortable, wearable, and lightweight fashion that can be dressed up or dressed down for any occasion.

Our production company is located in Buenos Aires and we hand make our jewelry, adhering to the highest quality standards. All Iskin Sisters products are hand finished.  

We have an office and warehouse in Madrid, Spain (from there we ship all our European orders) and in Vermont, US (to ship orders to the US and Canada).
