Cristy Cali. The Cristy Cali mission is to design beautiful jewelry that means something truly special to the wearer or gift-giver. As a jewelry company rooted in love and compassion, we believe art in the form of jewelry is an expression of one's true spirit.

The Cristy Cali vision is to create an awareness of our infinite consciousness and come to understand our that our purpose is to experience life through polarities, which will ultimately make us wiser and more loving souls. The intention behind Cali's designs is to immortalize a moment or a connection for you to share with someone or embrace as an expression of your essence. 

While Cristy may have been born in Guatemala, she was mainly raised in the suburbs of New Orleans, specifically in Metairie and Kenner. She attended Ursuline Academy High School in uptown New Orleans and spent her summers in Guatemala to be with family. Until she left for college, Cali realized how magical and unique New Orleans really was. Feeling homesick, she transferred back to her hometown to Loyola University's School of Business for her junior year and graduated in 2012 with an International Business major. 

While she always had a passion and talent in the arts, jewelry design was the last thing on her mind until her family and friends influenced her back in high school. During the immediate aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, then only a sophomore at Ursuline, Cali began contributing to her parents' French Quarter jewelry business by creating her own designs, stringing necklaces and helping run daily operations whenever possible. Cali helped to manage her family business for seven years before venturing out on her own. In fact, it had only been five months after graduating from Loyola when she decided to start her own jewelry brand and has been enjoying life as an entrepreneur ever since.
