Do you remember your first jewellery memory?
Yes, primarily around New York: observing glamourous NYC women; the windows of stores on Madison Avenue and Fifth Avenue; and also viewing timeless artifacts through visits to museums in New York and throughout Europe.
Marie Antoinette
Your background is in publishing. What prompted you to start your own line?
After graduating from Cornell University in 2006, I worked in Advertising at Vogue Living, followed by a position in Creative Services at Vogue from 2006-2009. Afterwards, I had the opportunity to do editorially focused work for stylists on international and domestic photoshoots. I was fortunate to work for some of the most innovative taste makers in the industry, where I was exposed to such an abundance of creative energy. From that, the concept blossomed, the idea became a reality, and Dauphines of New York was born.
