About KJ

Brazilian jewelry, chosen by a Brazilian woman.

KJ is Karine Jewelry: a small online jewelry shop in Scotch Plains, New Jersey, bringing Brazilian semi-jewelry and 925 sterling silver to women across the US.

About KJ

The story behind KJ.

Karine Diarte Melo is Brazilian and lives in New Jersey. She created Karine Jewelry to share what she missed from home: the polish and finish of Brazilian semi-jewelry, the kind of pieces Brazilian women wear every day and still feel dressed up in.

KJ is just opening, and Karine runs it herself. She chooses every piece, answers every message and packs every order. When you write to KJ on WhatsApp, it is Karine who replies.

Why "KJ"?

KJ is short for Karine Jewelry, and it is how the brand signs every piece of its identity: the round black seal with the gold ring you see on this site.
