Brad Price,
Dreamweaver
Brad holds many different roles at Krombholz and in each he is able to express his creativity. Although Brad graduated with a degree in finance, he quickly realized that designing and creating needed to be part of life and work. Brad participates in buying jewelry, appraisals and in-store display work. But the most enjoyable part of Brad's 15 years at Krombholz has been the relationships he's built with customers. His inquisitive nature about a client's lifestyle and tastes is evident. One client said, "If my husband is going to buy a piece of jewelry for me, I make sure he goes to see Brad. Brad will know what I like - he never misses." Another said, "when I create jewelry with Brad it's like building a house. There's all of this back and forth, we have little conferences and he ends up creating something amazing."
Although Brad is a consultant to his customers, he's a jewelry buyer too. And what he craves is jewelry that is ornate and over the top. His favorite period in jewelry is Belle Epoque, typified by heavy use of diamonds and pearls, motifs of ribbons, bows, festoons and garlands.
Brad balances his love of these "turn of the 20th century" fashions with his understanding of today's customer. His clients may prefer very clean and tailored styles that match their lifestyle, skin tone and hair color. Regardless of lifestyle or fashion preferences, Brad believes that a woman should feel beautiful and special in the jewelry she wears - and considers it his job and pleasure to make that happen.
