198. Monica Rich Kosann on How She Went From Successful Photographer to Creating Her Well-Known Luxury Label and Eponymous Jewlery Line

How'd She Do That?

Today’s guest is fine jeweler, Monica Rich Kosann. Monica started out as a photographer many years ago capturing her client's stories through film (she was the primary family photographer for multiple celebrities). She then started gifting her clients vintage card cases with their photos as a thank you and from there began designing lockets. This spawned her eponymous jewelry line that has been around for nearly 20 years with the locket as the cornerstone of the brand. Sold in Bergdorf Goodman, Neiman Marcus and countless fine jewelry boutiques around the country, Monica Rich Kosann is a well-known luxury label that Monica started completely on her own. It's B-Certified (the first in the luxury industry to achieve that status), is run by a team of women and has become an incredibly successful business with collaborations with 18-time Grand Slam Tennis Champion, Chris Evert, on a line of tennis bracelets, Netflix on a partnership around Bridgerton and more.
