chain necklace cross Lee Angel Safina Multi- Row Green Glass

Roxanne Assoulin started making jewelry in the 1970s when she was a student at New York University. Turning trimmings and everyday objects like ribbons, rhinestones, and twigs into everything from barrettes to bracelets, she captured the playful, punky attitude of fashion at that time, making hand-made, personality-packed accessories her trademark. Todayhaving grown her business from a do-it-yourself endeavor into a global brandher line, Lee Angel, is the countrys quintessential source for joyous, energetic, and innovative costume jewelry.

From the very beginning, Assoulins career has been an eclectic one, glittered with collaborations and clever ideas. In the 70s, Assoulin designed exclusives for Norma Kamali and Jackie Rogers, and for the Fiorucci store in Soho.

Today, Assoulin designs fifteen collections annually for Lee Angel, the line she launched in 1999 and named after her third and youngest son, Lee. Characterized by pieces that are either dead-simple or delightfully over-the-top, Lee Angel strikes a perfect balance between fashions haute and its humor, and is reputed to be the best source for modern, feminine, and affordable costume jewelry today.
