About

CAK Art & Design is a handmade jewelry and art brand founded by Christina Kahigian at age 22, based on the New Hampshire Seacoast. What began as a small basement studio has grown into a creative practice rooted in thoughtful design, craftsmanship, and self-expression.

With a background in Graphic Design and Studio Art, Christina blends formal training with a passion for hands-on artistry. Her experience working with ceramics, metalsmithing, and mixed media naturally evolved into handcrafted polymer clay collections defined by structure, texture, and intentional design.

Each piece is thoughtfully designed and made by hand, from sculpting and sanding to final assembly; resulting in lightweight, one-of-a-kind jewelry created to elevate everyday style and move seamlessly from daily wear to special occasions.

Inspired by coastal tines, organic shapes, and modern minimalism, the work reflects a balance of creativity and precision. What started as a creative outlet has grown into a brand focused on creating art that feels personal, expressive, and meaningful to wear.
