Jewelry Was Always A Part of My Story

Second-generation Jewelry Designer. First-generation American. A legacy built from scratch.

I’m a proud Jewish Latina woman and the daughter of Cuban immigrants who started their own jewelry business when they came to America. It was their second act—something they built from scratch—and the start of our family's legacy.

Today, I carry that story forward as a second-generation jeweler and entrepreneur, blending heritage and modern design to create pieces that honor the past while celebrating the present.

I traded burnout for beauty—and found my passion and my purpose

Before I ever sketched a ring or set a stone, I was working on Wall Street, grinding away in a high-pressure career that left me feeling totally burnt out and unfulfilled.

At 35, I quit my job, traveled the world, and came back ready to build a life filled with more meaning.

That journey eventually led me back to my roots—into my family’s jewelry business.

How one tiny ring—and one big leap of faith—sparked a whole new beginning

A BABY, A BIRTHSTONE, A BRAND.

At 40, I was single and dreaming of becoming a mother. After years of IVF and heartbreak, I chose adoption. Just eight days after connecting with a birth mom through a newspaper ad, I flew across the country, held her hand through labor, and helped deliver my daughter, Julia.

To mark that life-altering moment, I designed a simple citrine ring—
her birthstone.

I had no idea how that tiny piece of jewelry would change my life. It sparked conversations, then connections, and eventually... a brand. My Story was born in 2017, built around honoring life’s biggest, smallest, most meaningful moments through jewelry.
