About Us

Heir to a tradition of artistry and excellence in fine jewelry, hallmarks of Kitsinian Jewelers, Vanna K designs with an aura of energy that interacts with the mind and body and resonates with her admirer.

Though jewelry design has been the family business for three generations, Papa never meant for his little girl to follow in his footsteps. “For you…great things” he often said as young Vanna would peer over his shoulder at the platinum wonders unfolding under his pencil.

Papa got his way – or so he thought. While Vanna dutifully fulfilled his ambitions by excelling as a multi-lingual scholastic star, for Vanna, none of it extinguished her fierce, unremitting passion to sketch, imagine, and bring to life sculpted precious metal in ways never before seen or worn.

Today, the next generation of bridal and fashion design has arrived. Led by a member of the very age group her product will serve, someone entirely in sync with their sensibilities, taste, and shared vision of timeless beauty.

M-Clip started over 10 years ago in Atlanta, GA with our founder realizing there were no premium quality money clips on the market that (1) held an adequate amount of content (credit cards and cash) and (2) were made with quality materials that would not lose their grip strength over a short period of time. He designed the new sliding lever function into the clip and manufactured them from the highest quality materials available, had it patented and began selling the product to local jewelers, individuals and golf resorts. Pretty soon, it became obvious a better mouse trap had arrived and the M-Clip has since grown to become recognized by most as the best designed, highest quality money clip available.
