About Us

Urban Posh® founder, Jewelry Designer, Jeanne Kirkland.

As a child Jeanne remembers her grandfather telling stories of hiking to mines through the jungles of Africa and Sri Lanka. Her grandparents were gemologists and traveled the world searching for the highest quality stones. They encouraged her to pick up stones and learn about their various attributes. This deep understanding, heritage and passion goes into all Urban Posh® pieces today .

Jeanne studied business at the University of Texas at Austin. She spent 5 years in high tech, before founding Urban Posh® in 2004 and dedicating her career to designing world class jewelry.
