Elena Kriegner Provides the Perfect Marriage Proposal for Those who Support Fireworks Earrings on Kickstarter

To date, Kickstarter has successfully helped fund over 24,000 creative projects and awards around the world. The creativity and passion of like-minded people has brought them together onto a website that dedicates itself to helping entrepreneurial projects become a reality. Embracing these ideas, Elena Kriegner has posted a Kickstarter page to help her manufacture tools that will assist in the making of her Fireworks earrings, which currently take six hours to construct by hand. In exchange for pledges towards building her stamping and bending tools, she offers a variety of rewards, including the setting for the perfect marriage proposal.

Kickstarter provides a great opportunity for a small business to materialize its creativity. I look forward to making more than one dream come true here with my Fireworks Earrings project.

New York, NY (PRWEB) August 08, 2012

After announcing to her family that she would be a “jewelry maker” at the age of six, Elena Kriegner made jewelry for classmates and neighbors in her native Austria. After growing her passion for jewelry at a young age, she later proceeded to study at the prestigious European Jewelry Design School, where she studied arts and craftsmanship in order to become a goldsmith. Additionally, Elena worked with a lapidary in South Africa, and traveled to Greece to teach courses. In 2008, she moved to New York City after living and working from a sailboat, where she got the inspiration for her sailing cocktail ring series. She is currently working out of her Chelsea studio, designing unique and contemporary pieces of jewelry for private clients and select stores.

Elena Kriegner’s Fireworks earrings have been a success among her followers. They are available in a variety of semiprecious gemstones, including blue topaz, citrine, amethyst, green amethyst, smoky quartz, lime citrine or rose de france. Elena’s goal for the project is to raise $14,500 in funds so that she can build a stamping and bending tool that would make it a much less laborious process. If she succeeds, she will create 80 initial pairs of fireworks earrings and can then focus on the development of new jewelry designs.

Her $10,000 pledge prize, an incredible opportunity, is the orchestrating of the perfect proposal. It includes two nights in a private Manhattan apartment, where one can propose amongst the breathtaking views of the Manhattan skyline. In addition, there is a private consultation with Elena included, where the custom engagement ring can be designed together with her.

Says Elena on working with Kickstarter “Kickstarter provides a great opportunity for a small business to materialize its creativity. I look forward to making more than one dream come true here.”
