elleELLEeye Blog: The Sound of Jewelry

<p>Behind every great piece of art, there lies an artist who translates their creative thoughts into wonderful images. The same goes for anyone who has a particular craft; including musicians, athletes, and fashion designers. Iran Ortiz, creator of the brand and the jewelry line, <strong><em><span style="color: #ff0000;">Endless Noise NYC</span></em></strong>, is no different! Her work speaks for itself, and with every piece handmade, we’re sure that soon enough her work will be seen in stores and on our favorite celebrities. Check out the interview:<br /><br /><strong><span style="color: #6600cc;">elleELLEeye: </span>How did you come up with the name <em><a href="http://endlessnoise.com/"><span style="color: #ff0000;">Endless Noise NYC</span></a></em>?</strong><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_vj465ttgJo4/S9RGqqEAGjI/AAAAAAAADjY/-W1lCbWARsQ/s1600/ennyc.PNG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5464069946566777394" style="margin: 0px 10px 10px 0px; width: 124px; float: left; height: 76px; cursor: hand;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_vj465ttgJo4/S9RGqqEAGjI/AAAAAAAADjY/-W1lCbWARsQ/s400/ennyc.PNG&quot; border="0" alt="" /></a><strong><span style="color: #00cccc;">Iran Ortiz: </span></strong>In addition to jewelry I was also making these clutches made out of fabric. The name <strong><em><a href="http://endlessnoisenyc.com/"><span style="color: #ff0000;">Endless Noise</span></a></em></strong> represents the sounds that are constantly around me when creating something; The sound of the sewing machine, music, radio, my family, my dog barking, the cars outside and etc.<br /><br /><strong><span style="color: #6600cc;">elleELLEeye: </span>What inspired you to start your company?</strong><br /><strong><span style="color: #00cccc;">Iran Ortiz: </span></strong>About 4 years ago, I would make jewelry pieces or clutches for my friends as birthday and holiday gifts. They would always tell me to start selling my pieces. I have always had a 9-5 job, therefore was not able, with my time to begin a business. Fortunately, a year and a half ago, I was laid off and was able to work on starting the line.</p><div class="fullpost"><br /><br /><strong><span style="color: #6600cc;">elleELLEeye: </span>What designers inspires you?</strong><br /><strong><span style="color: #00cccc;">Iran Ortiz: </span></strong>One designer that does inspire me is <strong><a href="http://store.a-morir.com/product/w-o-w"><span style="color: #9a5732;">Kerin Rose</span></a></strong>. I heard her story through a friend of mine and soon after was following her on Twitter. She inspires me because she goes the extra mile in everything that she does. Not only are her products beautiful but they are also of high quality. Kerin Rose is a true hustler. <br /><br /><strong><span style="color: #6600cc;">elleELLEeye: </span>If you could collaborate, and do a line, with any designer who would it be and why?</strong><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_vj465ttgJo4/S9RGZQZSoZI/AAAAAAAADjQ/QEwDrmSr1lc/s1600/rmclutch.PNG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5464069647618974098" style="margin: 0px 0px 10px 10px; width: 165px; float: right; height: 92px; cursor: hand;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_vj465ttgJo4/S9RGZQZSoZI/AAAAAAAADjQ/QEwDrmSr1lc/s400/rmclutch.PNG&quot; border="0" alt="" /></a><strong&g
