What inspired you to create Spinelli Kilcollin?
DK: The first linked rings were just for us. We wanted something kinetic, sort of modular and layered, but still clean and grounded. People started literally buying them right off our hands. So we took a leap!
When did you realize you made it?
YS: We got more attention when we began incorporating diamonds in 2013. Editors and retailers took notice, and 2014 became a break-out year. Oprah wore a ring on her December '14 issue cover—that was amazing.

If not this path, what else would you be doing?
YS: Spinelli Kilcollin is sincerely the perfect path for me. I love working with people and creating things that make them happy—and building a family business. I also collect records and love music, so I might have opened a listening bar or started a radio show.
DK: Back in the day we were in a rock band together. I played bass and Yves was on guitar. Perhaps we could have made it big if the band stuck together!
What keeps you motivated?
YS: Our team and clients drive us to explore new creative horizons. They make it all possible.
