“There's always an opportunity for growth. You have to be open to it.”
“Know what you're good at, and, more importantly, what you're not - and surround yourself with people who fill the gap.”
“If I let the noes of yesterday control me, I wouldn't be able to ever move forward in my future.”
“Brands must be authentic because there are very few veils left between a business and the public.”
“I really felt like there was a white space in the market in the jewelry industry. There was very, very overpriced things that I couldn't afford at the time or very inexpensive, cheaply made that kind of fell apart when you bought it.”
“I think for me, I always just want to learn, and I'm always looking at what other businesses are doing that are working and not working. And I'm always putting myself in the customer's shoes.”
“I'm not a brand who's worried about having a Park Avenue address. I'm worried about where my customer is going to be, and so therefore, we're opening stores that start out being successful.”
“We hire people with a like-minded heart and spirit.”
“Focus on what lights a fire inside of you and use that passion to fill a white space. Don't be afraid of the challenges, the missteps, and the setbacks along the way. What matters is that you keep going.”
“When it comes to personal style, what you place in your home is as important as what you wear.”
“To be able to wake up every day and live out your dream is such a blessing that I will never take for granted.”
“I always say, 'Activity breeds activity.' You need to have activity happening in your store, and you need to create an experience. And I think if retailers focus on connection before transaction, they will win.”
“My side gig would definitely be organizing virtual styling sessions.”
“If you can keep and retain wonderful, valuable employees, that's smart business.”
“As someone who loves giving gifts, I believe the best gifts are the ones that serve a greater good - which is exactly what our jewelry does.”
“When we opened our first retail stores, it was very important to me that we had a unique shopping experience, created an experiential shopping environment.”
“Raising three sons is the greatest responsibility of my life, and as a mother I believe it is so important that my boys know they are never alone.”
“I think when women join forces, when they hold hands, they're unstoppable. I can attest to that.”
“A lot of people may not love Amazon, but I think it's made us all have to be better. I like a little competition out there.”
“I want my space to feel like it's lived in but also have a global feel, because I am so inspired by travel.”
