Freckled Foodie & Friends

In this episode, I sit down with Stephanie Gottlieb to talk about her journey into the jewelry world, how she worked her way up from the Diamond District in Manhattan to setting out on her own, and how her business took off unexpectedly and grew into the luxury fine jewelry brand it is today. Stephanie shares how she has witnessed women find value in themselves through their investments in jewelry, how someone can explore what they want in a ring before an engagement occurs, and what the “4 C’s” mean for picking out a diamond. She also talks about how people can save some money on rings, how you can redesign an existing engagement ring, and what the staple jewelry pieces might be throughout someone’s life. Finally, she unpacks making the iconic “87” necklace for Taylor Swift, how that moment has had an impact on her business, and she shares her thoughts on Selena Gomez’s and Zendaya’s engagement rings.Key Takeaway / Points:How Stephanie got started in the jewelry worldStephanie’s experience in the Diamond Dis
