CHEN LEVY
With over 32 years of experience, I am the owner and house designer of Christi Sothers and offer unique, high-end fashion jewelry. At Christi Sothers, the possibilities are limitless. I specialize in custom designs, ensuring each piece is unique and crafted with the finest materials.
I've had the privilege of working with celebrities and high-profile clients, tailoring exclusive designs to their tastes. Additionally, I proudly sponsor Miss New York each year, providing quality pieces and custom work that showcase the elegance and sophistication of Christi Sothers jewelry.
MY STORY
After completing military service in my native, Israel, I secured a position at the prestigious Diamond Exchange, where I learned the ins and outs of the diamond business and perfected my skills in rating stones and cutting diamonds.
After my time at the Diamond Exchange, I decided to attend the Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT) in New York City to study jewelry design. I followed my passion for jewelry design and opened a boutique jewelry store in the heart of midtown Manhattan.
My emphasis on individualizing the customer experience has led to a loyal clientele from around the world. They have become our extended family.

The store's combination of products, merchandising, and white glove customer service has made Christi Sothers the permanent store in the neighborhood for the past 32 years.
Tel Aviv Trends
Chen strives to design pieces that are elegant and timeless. In response to the tragic events of October 7th, she felt a deep calling to create a collection that embodies pride as a Jew and resilience to stand loud and proud. This heartfelt collection combines traditional symbols with contemporary design, celebrating the strength and unity of the Jewish people.
This exclusive line has caught the attention of customers and media alike, being featured in Couture International Jeweler magazine. Levy has been calling New York City her home since 1994. She lives with her husband and three children. The diversity and energy of NYC is a major source of inspiration for Levy in her life as a designer and preeminent jewelry retailer.
