The Hustle
Years in Tampa Bay
I’ve been in the Tampa/St.Pete area for 12 years on and off.
Hustle (job)
Owner and Designer of Peach + Pair Jewelry.
What do you do?
I create local, timeless jewelry to create lasting moments and memories.
Why do you do it?
I wanted to combine my love of design with my background history in jewelry. I also wanted to create a more minimalistic approach to jewelry that would remain timeless.
What was your Catalyst? (How did you get started?)
I grew up in a family of jewelers, so this industry has always been a large part of my life. I wanted to start a line that was representative of the times and what my friends and I tend to gravitate towards – simplicity, but with an emphasis on quality materials.
What’s a common misconception or unknown aspect of what you do?
That I make all of the pieces personally – I have a jeweler that makes all of the pieces that I design myself.
What’s the most challenging part of your Hustle?
Finding the time to devote to reaching out to people and maintaining my social media, as I work full time on top of creating and building this business.
What’s the most valuable piece of business advice/insight that’s helped you?
To love what to you do and the products you make.
