Elizabeth Kyle is the artist and founder of Blue Kangaroo Jewelry, a design company creating sterling silver custom jewelry made from unconventional materials gathered from her travels all over the world. After a 25 year career in interior design, Elizabeth delays retirement by returning to a collegiate passion—jewelry creation.

Elizabeth attributes her sense of style, color, and creativity to the artistic passion shared by her mother and grandmother and now, new generations continue the family tradition. Kathy Kyle McKernan, the eldest of Elizabeth’s two daughters, is a quilter. The youngest, Ginger Kyle Arwadi, teaches needlepoint and designs canvases. 

Kyle’s line of Charming Silver Hardware, sterling silver linked bracelets and necklace pendants, is influenced by her past professions and recent passions, including her animals and the concept of reinterpreting found objects. No two bracelets or pendants are alike. Each design is a kaleidoscope of memories redefined as fanciful arm and neck candy.

A former Texan and part-time Dallasite, Kyle shares her stunning ranch in Santa Fe, New Mexico with her animals. Additionally, Kyle loves to garden, because it gives her “another canvas on which to paint.”
