My Story :)
I was 10 years old when my brother and I came up with my business name. At the time I didn’t know I’d own my own jewelry company. I just knew that if my dream of being a talk show host didn’t work out, I wanted to do something to help people.
Looking back, I can see this is what I was destined to do. At fourteen, I lied about my age to land my very first job as a cashier at a local grocery story. I worked tirelessly every weekend to save enough money to get myself an Omega Chain Necklace. I just HAD to have it. I remember every detail of the day I bought it - to where I purchased it and how we negotiated the price down to $360, all the money I ever had. It’s the very first thing I bought with my own money, and wore it proudly everyday.
This was only the beginning of my love for jewelry.
I went on to graduate from NYU in 2009 with a degree in Economics. I knew for certain that I wanted to be able to have an impact on people, and empower woman.
I always loved how a piece of jewelry could really make me feel beautiful - the confidence and certain allure that came from wearing a special piece. Confidence is so important, and I think every woman deserves to feel beautiful. With this purpose in mind, my business journey began.
I want to make each woman wearing a piece of SamiJewels to feel special and beautiful, not just on special occasions, but everyday. I believe the simplest pieces can make the biggest impact. That’s why I designed my line to be delicate, yet strong - pieces that become like your second skin illuminating your natural beauty and spirit.
