Tell us about your love of jewelry
Growing up, my father owned a jewelry store in L.A., which served as my first classroom. More than a parent, he was my guide into the intricate dance of gemstones and metals, my first glimpse into the world of jewelry making. Under his mentorship, I learned the artistry behind each piece but also the foundation of the business and manufacturing processes.
What inspired you to launch your own brand?
It was born from a blend of necessity and passion. During a quiet, introspective period while expecting my daughter, I found myself yearning for a creative outlet that could also contribute to my family’s wellbeing. This led to the creation of my first sterling silver line.

How do you balance timelessness and creativity?
I ask myself, "Could I wear this every day for the rest of my life and still love it?" That balance has involved a lot of trial and error. However, as time passes and I gain more perspective on life, my internal design compass becomes more refined and reliable. This guiding principle helps ensure that each piece not only captures a creative spirit, but also holds enduring appeal.

What inspired your award-winning Fireworks Collection?
One day, amidst the creative chaos, I was struck by the sight of scattered baguette diamonds spread across my desk. They reminded me of a burst of light—an explosion of brilliance and energy. It was a moment of inspiration: what if these diamonds were set in a seemingly random, yet meticulously planned, pattern to mimic this very spectacle of light?

Describe your design ethos
Our pieces are dynamic, yet hold a static, enduring beauty. They are designed to move with you and adapt, yet in their essence, they remain unchanged—classic, elegant and always relevant. It's a dance between old and new, bold and subtle, dynamic and static.
