Casa Kira specializes in providing unique jewelry, handcrafted in Tucson, Arizona by artist, Kira Geddes.
Kira was born and raised in Tucson, AZ. She grew up with the Sonoran Desert as her playground. Her art reflects those colors, textures and sensibilities. She is an artist, sculptor, cellist, teacher, doula, and mother. All of these influences are woven into her work.
The Casa Kira studio is located in Tucson and open by appointment. Casa Kira also holds an Open House once a month, which features new Casa Kira Designs, hosts a guest artist series, and supports local nonprofits and organizations.

Casa Kira jewelry is made with fair trade and ethically sourced materials from around the world. Every Casa Kira design is a limited edition or original work. This business places a strong emphasis on “Localness" and supporting the Local Arizona economy.
Casa Kira is a proud member of Local First Arizona. We all know it's great to shop local, and when local stores carry locally handcrafted products, it's even better. "I hear from gift shops and boutique buyers that they want to carry local products and customers ask for them, they are just not sure how. I run my business in a different way than the traditional rep and catalog model. It is important to me that local shops carry locally handcrafted jewelry. I work hard to connect with local buyers and many have begun to discover the benefits of dealing with a local artist. Being right here in Tucson makes me very accessible. The product lines are ever changing with no two items exactly alike. When I meet with buyers, some like to handpick each piece, while others prefer that I choose selections for them. I have built relationships with each of my store buyers, and know the character and feel of their locations and customers so I can provide them with assortments that are unique to their stores.” -Kira
Casa Kira is now celebrating its 15th year in business. One of the first shops to pick up the Casa Kira jewelry line, and which still carries it, was the Tucson Museum of Art Museum Store.
"It was really exciting and fun for me to be in the Museum Store at the Tucson Museum of Art, because I grew up a few blocks away in the El Presidio neighborhood. When I was little, I would roller-skate right where the lobby is now."
