Daniel K: The Designer

Daniel K is Daniel Koren, the accomplished designer behind the prestige, diamond jewelry house and the lifeblood of the brand. A third generation jeweler, Koren’s interest in design began very early on in his life and naturally developed into a talent that is recognized today as unequaled among other top designers. His incredible ability to fuse incomparable craftsmanship, with fresh design and superior stones, has rendered Daniel Koren one of the foremost jewelers in the US diamond industry today.

Daniel Koren launched the New York City based Daniel K brand in 1999 and has been creating extraordinary diamond and platinum jewelry ever since. Having been born into an artistic family, Koren’s creativity and affinity for design was an undeniable part of his DNA. As he explains, “I grew up with Italian ideas of style and understanding the importance of good, classic tailoring and clean lines. I believe there is a right way and a wrong way to do things, and it shows in my work.”

Keen attention to detail, vast knowledge of stones, profound sense of aesthetics and incredible desire to achieve perfection in his work, are at the core of what has allowed Daniel Koren to quickly rise to the top of the diamond industry as one of its leading jewelry designers and diamond experts. In describing what he attributes to his profound success, Koren states, “We take the extra time necessary to get it right. When I was learning from my father, he used to say, ‘if you had spent just a little bit longer, it would have looked ten times better.’ For me, it’s not just about selling a diamond. It’s about respect for craftsmanship. If a piece of jewelry doesn’t look right, it doesn’t leave my hands.”

Today, Koren has two simple, yet vital goals for the Daniel K brand: to continue to create beautiful jewelry and satisfy his customers.
