Kimono Dragon is a New York jewelry house founded in 2019 by Laura Schultz. It began as a curated vintage collection, heavy on the 1980s and 1990s, gathered on buying trips that run from Athens to Paris to Palm Beach, with every piece measured against the house's own test of whether it is, simply, fabulous. In 2024 the label added a contemporary line, Laura Gray, named for the founder's grandmother, built alongside the vintage archive rather than replacing it.
What makes a Kimono Dragon piece different
The vintage side of the house is sourced, not manufactured, so every one of those pieces is genuinely one of a kind. The Laura Gray line sits beside it, built on intricate hand enamelwork set with rare vintage gemstones, so a new piece carries the same weight as the archive it shares a case with. A handful of pieces in the collection also credit the designer Francine Bramli, a name that turns up alongside Kimono Dragon's own on select finds. For a bride the draw is the same across both lines, color and presence, the kind of jeweled collar or enameled clutch that gives a plain gown somewhere to go.
The pieces
Jean Paul Gaultier champagne crystal statement earrings
A genuine Jean Paul Gaultier find, these champagne crystal earrings are the kind of statement piece a bride wears once and keeps forever, since the original is long out of production. Kimono Dragon's vintage sourcing is how a piece like this ends up on a bridal jewelry site at all. Shop the Jean Paul Gaultier statement earrings, $275.
Vintage Joan Rivers flower earrings
A vintage flower earring from the Joan Rivers collection, sourced the way every Kimono Dragon piece is, one buying trip and one genuinely one of a kind find at a time. There is no second pair exactly like this one. Shop the vintage Joan Rivers flower earrings, $130.
Francine Bramli XL pearl and gold heart bracelet
This oversized pearl and gold heart bracelet carries the Francine Bramli name, one of the credited designers whose vintage pieces turn up inside the Kimono Dragon collection. It's the kind of statement bracelet that pulls focus from a plain long sleeve. Shop the Francine Bramli heart bracelet, $175.
Vintage French pearl choker
A French pearl choker sourced from the vintage side of the archive, sitting close to the throat the way a choker should. It's a quieter piece than some of the collection's statement earrings, built for a bride who wants pearls without a lot of noise. Shop the vintage French pearl choker, $185.
Amethyst and pearl flower drop earrings
Purple is not a color most bridal jewelry touches, which is exactly why this amethyst and pearl drop earns a place in the lineup. It's a genuine statement earring built around a flower motif, with the kind of presence that holds its own against a plain gown. Shop the amethyst and pearl drop earrings, $465.
Vintage Italian gold double heart earrings
A vintage Italian find, two gold hearts stacked into one earring, sourced through the same Athens to Paris to Palm Beach buying circuit that fills out the rest of the archive. Shop the vintage Italian gold double heart earrings, $225.
Custom cane clutch with bamboo handle
The one bag in the collection, a cane clutch finished with a bamboo handle, built for a bride who wants her jewelry and her clutch pulled from the same vintage well. It's also the easiest piece here to hand off to a bridesmaid for the reception. Shop the cane clutch, $435.
