PRETTY LITTLE THING

Designed in USA

Designer Lirany Vasquez grew up aspiring to write for fashion magazines. After earning an English degree at the University of Maryland and a start in journalism in Washington DC and Los Angeles, Lirany decided she no longer wanted to write about fashion but instead contribute something to it. The career switch landed her in New York City in 2003 pursuing a longtime love for jewelry design. There she began apprenticing at one of the country’s top jewelry companies learning every aspect of the business.

After a short time she decided to further pursue her passion on her own, and designed a small collection of earrings and necklaces for a friend’s boutique. The collection was a success and Pretty Little Thing was born. Within a year Lirany’s designs were being picked up by other hip boutiques and recognized by the press. The collection revolves around a group of eclectic charm pieces that are feminine and sexy with an unexpected twist.

Lirany mixes elements like glass, wood, metal and semiprecious stones to compliment her whimsical charms. Her pink glass heart with spider necklace and revolver charm earrings have been big hits. Lirany lives in the East Village of NYC-- the city that inspires her everyday.
