Christina Addison grew
up in New York City, and developed her love of jewelry from her grandmother,
a collector of beautiful jewelry and personal client of Harry Winston.
As a young girl, she pored through jewelry auction catalogs and attended
fine jewelry auction previews, cultivating her interest in colored
stones, quality, proportions, scale and texture. Most importantly,
she developed her creative sense of style and fun.
Christina’s
professional Jewelry Design background focused on Luxury Goods and
exquisite style. Christina’s career began
as a Fine Jewelry Buyer for Bergdorf Goodman. She then went on to
the pre-eminent house of style, Chanel, Inc. as the U.S. buyer for
the launch of Chanel Fine Jewelry. From there she moved to the arbiter
of design integrity and quality, Sotheby's, to introduce online auctions
for jewelry and watches for Sothebys.com and then to direct Sotheby's
Salon Prive, their Fine Jewelry retail sales initiative.
Christina
started designing a colored stone jewelry collection for herself
and a few select friends in 1999, and soon thereafter was in demand
by private clients, socialites, celebrities and style icons.
