About Us

Karen & Rita, was created by Beauty & Fashion Influencer Aaliyah Jay. Aaliyah was inspired by her Grandmother Karen and her Great Grandmother Rita, along with many other amazing women in her family. Growing up Aaliyah, watched the women in her family style and accessorize their outfits with only the best accessories and when we say BEST, we mean accessories that made a statement no matter the price! In Aaliyah's becoming of a young adult, she realized how much she identified with her grandmother's style & way of being and it inspired her to begin her journey in being her most authentic self. No matter what others felt or thought. On this journey, Aaliyah gravitated to statement jewelry like funky rings and colorful earrings that created moments as her grandmothers would wear when they were her age. This inspired Aaliyah to live her life to the fullest and only do things that made her feel her best self and if that meant wearing the craziest accessories while not caring what anyone thought, thats exactly what she was going to do; and this was how the Karen & Rita brand was born.
