Karina Brez Jewelry celebrates the bond horses and humans have. Influenced by the majesty of the horse, equestrian gear, symbolism, and myth, her designs honor both the sport and the connec�on created. They feature a harmonious balance of love for all things equestrian, while making fine jewelry accessories accessible. In her next branding expansion, Brez takes her equine style and brings it to the world of interior design through The Jeweled Barn, her �ny house retail pop-up concept. The newly debu�ng Jeweled Barn is located just outside of the VIP area of the Winter Equestrian Fes�val, which runs from now through April 2, 2023.
Returning to the Winter Equestrian Fes�val (WEF) at the pres�gious Wellington Interna�onal for the 11th year, the show is the longest-running equestrian event in the world. A�rac�ng the top athletes in the sport, WEF is the premier backdrop for trendse�ng equine style. The Jeweled Barn is a �ny house, inspired by the dis�nguished show, as a celebra�on of the equestrian lifestyle. Designed to appear as a barn on the exterior, it is an homage to the home of the horse. Its interior is me�culously detailed, for the viewing and purchasing of pieces from Karina Brez signature collec�ons.
Jewelry Designer Karina Brez states, “The Jeweled Barn is inspired by the spirit of the equestrian lifestyle, both rus�c and refined. An interpreta�on of an English tack room, it is sophis�cated, incorpora�ng green, gold and reclaimed wood. It is making its debut at WEF, and will be used to showcase Karina Brez Jewelry at horse shows across the U.S.”
The Jeweled Barn was developed to be carbon neutral: consciously designed with environmental impact in mind, featuring ecofriendly products, several local vendors, and surrounded by many plants. The structure was built by Melbourne, FL-based, Movable Roots. “As a complete custom design and build company, Movable Roots was excited to be part of Karina’s journey, helping her create a unique mobile ‘�ny home’ space that worked for her and her brand,” says Michael Cheatham, Co-Owner, Movable Roots. Its lights are from Barn Light Electric, in Titusville, Florida and the large windows were acquired by PGT, a local window company. In celebra�on of the equestrian aesthe�c, Ralph Lauren tartan wool fabric is repurposed as wallpaper. The shelves are made from old tobacco barns, and there are reclaimed hardwood floors at the base of the structure. The en�re barn is powered by solar panels on its roof, designed and installed by Expert Mobile Solar, from Brevard County, FL. The solar panels are assisted by a ba�ery to allow the barn to be off the grid, including its satellite internet and air condi�oning. Handmade leather trunks have been commissioned from Nick Coggon in No�ngham, England to decorate the building. The interior is furnished with shiplap walls, painted green, and it is decorated with equestrian an�ques. Ebony-stained cedar wood and copper lights surround, and flowers adorn the exterior of The Jeweled Barn. Its innova�ve design offers a modern way to a�end horse shows in a pop-up retail space, allowing for the aesthe�c of the Karina Brez equestrian fine jewelry brand to show through on-the-go.
The Jeweled Barn is located outside of the VIP area of the Winter Equestrian Fes�val (between the interna�onal Club and Hermes), in Wellington, FL. Karina Brez Jewelry is a corporate sponsor, and is sponsoring the Adult Amateur Hunters Division, ages 36-49, at WEF. A horse enthusiast with a passion for gemstones, Brez completed the GIA Graduate Gemologist program, is an appraiser, and advocates for non-profits introducing children to the healing power of horses. Her signature fine jewelry collec�ons are Huggable Hooves®™, Horse LUV®™, Bit of LUV®™, Lucky Horseshoe, Horsea® and The Garden Collec�on. Karina Brez signature collec�ons are available online at h�ps://karinabrez.com/, and will be shown in person at The Jeweled Barn, from now through April 2, 2023.
