About us:

We are a rebellious little company and we make jewelry and other objects in New York City. They are beautiful and people seem to love them. What began with one lock is now an entire collection designed to be worn in infinite ways and used as “jewel tools” with individuals’ own collections—to redefine the “precious” in jewelry with individuality. The collection is sold online and in select independent stores in the US and around the world and even in a vending machine or two. 

We are an equal opportunity employer for whom diversity and inclusion are a passion and a commitment.

We provide health insurance as well as dental and vision plans. 

401K matching program. 

Access to personal and professional development coaching and support.

Other benefits such as transit vouchers, discounts at certain gyms and retailers.

“Errand Day” (you’ll learn about that if you come in for an interview).

Our offices are decidedly “unoffice like” and fill a full floor on 47th street in the heart of New York’s Diamond District. Our fridge is also filled with great food.
