BECK

Biography
BECK
Rebecca Zeijdel-Paz is from the stunning island of Curaçao, a place that inspires every design she creates. Trained in Italy and alumnus of Carolina Herrera, she handcrafts fine jewelry in her now-second home of Brooklyn, New York that carries the spirit of her native island and upbringing. A collection of jewels, blending organic shapes and sturdy materials with renowned craftsmanship, she offers a contemporary eye to traditional pieces. Vibrant stones, thoughtful forms, and rhythmic textures, each piece is an homage to her island upbringing, reminiscent of the sea.
 
Zeijdel-Paz conceived Beck as a collection of Fine Jewelry pieces distinguished by the design tensions between her life in New York and her Caribbean roots — the raw and the polished, the paradox of strong and fine, fluidity and gravity; a narrative of opposites emphasized by the smoothness of repetitive ridges and the beauty of bold hardware lines. She wanted to capture the ease with which jewelry is worn in the Caribbean. She captures a laid-back approach to fine jewelry, a casual elegance in which the same piece of jewelry could be worn to an ocean swim as to a formal affair. For Zeijdel-Paz, it is about how a piece makes the wearing feel, and how it becomes a part of their story.
