About Erika

Jewelry that feels like armor

Personal, empowering, and straight out of Los Angeles.

"When you put a TWN-KL piece on, I want it to feel like armor."

— Erika Huff, founder and CEO

Her mother's jewelry box

Erika Huff's love of jewelry began in her mother's jewelry box. She learned by watching, and what she watched was her mother getting dressed—and becoming even more herself as the rings and bracelets went on. Her mom talked with her hands, and Erika was enchanted by the way the jewels sparkled and shimmered with every gesture. The jewelry was a key part of how her mother communicated. And Erika noticed she wasn't the only one captivated when her mom spoke.

"People express themselves with their hands. That's how I express myself.”

The twinkle in her eye

Since she was little, Erika's nickname has been Twinkle—the girl with the twinkle in her eye. And that's exactly how she curates. Every piece of jewelry has to twinkle in Erika's eye before it receives its celestial name and becomes part of the TWN-KL collection. It has to be the kind of piece you spot across a room and immediately want to reach out and touch. The twinkle test is how Erika selects the pieces you'll reach for time and time again. Each jewel is sourced from artisans and designers around the world and is finished with a signature gold or silver TWN-KL logo bar, laser-engraved in Los Angeles. It all started with the signature VEGA hand chain, a bracelet that connects to a ring and drapes across the back of the hand, ready to wear solo or stacked. Erika began with hands because that's how we communicate. TWN-KL's hand chains celebrate self-expression and individuality. That same instinct shaped the body jewelry collection, jewelry that moves with you, from poolside to twinkling nights out, over a bathing suit, lingerie, a silk gown, or nothing at all.
