Goran Kling has been trained as a goldsmith since he was 15 years old, studied at the Stockholm art school, Konstfack, where he graduated in contemporary jewelry bachelor, an style he thought was very far from his own idea of jewelry, and very distant from the client. so he decided to create an entire collection of streetwear jewelry!
Kling has discovered a way to produce artistic and contemporary jewelry with a unique youthful style! When the jeweler resided at 92nd Street Y in 2017, his goal was to spend as much time as possible on Canal Street and the Diamond District, shopping, talking to people and investigating an aesthetic world that he connects in the 70s and 80s.

Goran Kling’s childhood
With a rare disease called Prosopagnosia that boils down to “inability to recognize” it was, until very recently, treated as a rare disorder of face perception, in which the ability to recognize faces is impaired, although that of recognizing objects could be relatively intact.
Kling has jewelry as his first childhood memories. “I clearly remember what my grandmother would use, what my mother would use. I think I learned to recognize them by the jewelry they were wearing. “
Keeping yourself interesting is one of Kling’s principles nowadays its audience is young men! Kling recognizes that there is a new demand for the use of jewelry. “It seems that there was a need or desire to wear jewelry or to adorn themselves, and it was also obvious that there was not much for them on the market,” he says. “In recent years, there has really been a change here. The macho ideal is disappearing, especially among millennials. This means that men are also wearing jewelry in a completely different way than before. “
