Still thinking about this night. ✨

A few moments from BEFORE THE RUNWAY: A Private NYFW Fine Jewelry Preview Celebrating Black Designers, where community, creativity, and incredible craftsmanship came together high above New York City.

From the jewelry to the conversations to the people in the room, the evening was a beautiful reminder of what happens when we create intentional spaces for Black designers to be seen, celebrated, and connected.

A special thank you to our incredible featured designers @dorian.webb , @laurennewtonjewelry , @cocoerow , @lorrainewestjewelry , and @johnnynelsonjewelry for sharing their work and talent with us.

Thank you to our event partners @morgan.stanley , @thejewelrylibrary and to the JCK Industry Fund for its support in helping us bring this special evening to life.

And thank you to everyone who joined us and made the evening so memorable. 🖤

Swipe through for a look back at Before the Runway.

I meant to share this months ago, but better late than never. ✨

A heartfelt thank you to Sarin and the @jckevents team for welcoming me as a guest at their table for this year’s 24 Karat Club Gala. It was an absolutely beautiful evening and a wonderful opportunity to celebrate our industry alongside so many familiar faces and inspiring leaders.

As I pack my bags for JCK Las Vegas, it feels fitting to revisit this special night. Grateful for the relationships, conversations, and community that make this industry what it is.

See you in Vegas.💞

Last weekend at the Ritz in Half Moon Bay looked like a postcard, and as always, @jewelersmutual gave me the space to slow down and be fully present in it.

Somewhere between the ocean air, long conversations with people who understand this industry at the highest level, and moments of just being still, I realized how different life feels when you intentionally create space for yourself.

This Jewelers Mutual retreat hit differently this year. Not because of where I am in business, but because of where I am in life.

For the first time in years, I’m not running from one deadline to the next. I’m not squeezing in creativity between client meetings. I’m actually living… traveling, spending time with my family, reconnecting with myself, and remembering why I fell in love with this industry in the first place.

And the truth is, none of this would be possible without you.

Every client who trusted me with your engagement ring, your heirloom redesign, your most meaningful pieces… you didn’t just support a business. You created the space for me to experience a life I used to only dream about.

That’s not lost on me. Not for a second.

This hiatus has been equal parts soft life and hard reflection. Growth doesn’t always look like scaling. Sometimes it looks like slowing down long enough to realign.

And I can feel it… something is shifting.

I’ll be returning with more clarity, Clearer. More intentional. More aligned with the life I actually want to live, not just the business I built.

And when I return, it won’t just be a continuation.

It’ll be an evolution.

Something new is coming. 🤍

What an incredible weekend at the Jewelers Mutual Conversations at Half Moon Bay. We kicked it off with the Jewelers Leadership Forum meetings and the conversations kept flowing all weekend. I hope everyone has a career that has them surrounded by incredible humans. The types who will go out in torrential rainstorms for a walk to beach, challenge you to think bigger, chase rainbows, and make you laugh until you cry. These are my people.
Until next time. 💗💗💗
