We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Kayla Rose a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.

Kayla , thanks for joining us, excited to have you contributing your stories and insights. What’s something crazy on unexpected that’s happened to you or your business

My path into the jewelry business evolved in an unexpected way. Before diving into this world, I built my foundation in styling, where I honed my eye for aesthetics, trends, and visual storytelling. This experience ignited my passion for fashion and ultimately led me to explore jewelry design. Joining a venture founded by my husband and his former wife was not an easy feat. What started as a collaboration was incredibly challenging and created a lot of hardship and problems. Yet, through determination and resilience, we overcame those obstacles and emerged stronger. This experience has been deeply personal, allowing me to pour my heart and creativity into every design. Now, we take pride in creating bespoke, one-of-a-kind jewelry that reflects our commitment to quality and artistry. It has been a remarkable experience—filled with inspiration, challenges, and growth. Our flagship location in West Hollywood and new jewel box space in Melrose Hill, we showcase our unique jewelry collection where each piece tells its own story. We draw inspiration from vintage elements, celebrating the charm and character that these styles convey. Vintage jewelry, like our own creations, hold a unique narrative, allowing wearers to connect with the past while making new memories. I strive to create pieces that resonate personally with our clients, inviting them to appreciate the beauty and significance within each design.

Have you ever had to pivot?

Every day in business feels like a journey of continuous transformation. I vividly remember a challenging period when the market shifted unexpectedly. As someone deeply passionate about what I do, it felt daunting. I realized this was an opportunity to grow and innovate. During that time, I took it as a call to action and rallied my team, saying, ‘Let’s embrace this challenge! Every day, we have the power to pivot, adapt, and create something new.’ This collaborative approach sparked creativity and we wanted to exceed our client’s expectations. The result? We launched refreshed offerings that truly resonated, and in the process, we cultivated a culture of resilience and innovation within our team. It was incredibly rewarding to see how we transformed adversity into an opportunity for growth. This experience profoundly shaped my approach to business. Embracing change isn’t just about survival; it’s about thriving and continually creating new paths forward. Every day calls for that mindset, and it’s one of the things I cherish most about my work.

How’d you build such a strong reputation within your market?

We built our reputation by really embracing what makes us different. We’re not trying to be everything for everyone, and that’s okay. Instead, we focus on the uniqueness we bring to the table. This means we can connect on a deeper level, and our community feels that. Being unique isn’t just a slogan for us; it’s part of who we are. We’ve always believed in offering something special and meaningful, even if that means we’re not everywhere. We’re selective about the spaces we choose to be in and the designers we work with. That creates an atmosphere that feels genuine to us. It’s all about authenticity and creating memorable experiences that stick with people. It’s about building relationships and sharing our passion. At the end of the day, we’re proud not to be just another name in the crowd. We cherish our individuality and the connections we’ve made along the way.
