Moritz Glik (born August 8, 1962) is a Brazilian naturalized American jewelry designer known as the creator of the Kaleidoscope Shakers™.

Early life and education

Moritz Glik was born in Belo Horizonte, Brazil, and developed an early fascination with craftsmanship and handmade objects primarily through his mom, who was a seamstress and taught him how to cut and sew fabric at an early age.[1] His passion for creativity led him to pursue formal training at Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Minas Gerais (PUC-MG) where he received a BA in Advertising and Marketing.

Career

In 2003 Moritz founded his eponymous jewelry brand, Moritz Glik, which quickly gained recognition for its distinctive creations.[2]

One of Moritz Glik's most notable innovations is the creation of the "Kaleidoscope Shaker",[3] where loose precious gemstones are enclosed in capsules made of white sapphire crystal and gold. This unique technique allows the gemstones to float freely, creating a mesmerizing and dynamic visual effect. The Kaleidoscope Sakers™ became an instant hit and solidified Glik's reputation as a relevant artist in the jewelry industry.

His work has been showcased in various publications and media outlets, including Forbes,[4] [5] [6] JCK,[7] [8] InStore,[9] [10] Vogue,[11] InStyle, Cosmopolitan, W,[12] Harper's Bazaar, and the book "Jewelry Shining Stars"[13] [14] by jewelry writer Beth Bernstein.

Some of the notable celebrities who have been seen wearing Glik's jewelry include Michelle Obama,[15] Taylor Swift,[16] [17] [18] Rachel Brosnahan, Nicole Kidman, Renee Zellweger, Kerry Washington, Nicole Scherzinger, Constance Wu,[19] [20] Rihanna, Sydney Sweeney,[21] Kathryn Hahn, Jordan Peele,[22] Mila Kunis, Chelsea Peretti, Mia Khalifa,[23] and Hari Nef.[24]

Moritz has a private showroom and studio on Madison Avenue in Manhattan, New York, where his pieces are designed and handcrafted.
