Digital Native Vertical Brand specialized in jewellery.

“I trained in Paris, then came to New York and spent three years making jewelry for the world’s most coveted brands. But I always wondered why individual, inspirational jewelry couldn’t be available more widely. Why wasn’t it possible to deliver the same high quality without the high mark-up? It turns out it was possible. “
