“This is a very unique opportunity for me to express my love of nature in a very special way, all while creating some beautiful jewelry that can be worn in a variety of fantastic ways, via everyone’s wardrobe”

Korto was born in Liberia and immigrated with her family to Canada in 1990 to escape the African nation’s civil war.
She studied fashion in Ontario before moving to Arkansas, where she still lives with her husband and daughter.
