Q Congrats. And how did you, how did it come about? Were you in, in the business before?
A Um, so no, I had no business being in the jewelry business. I was, uh, a stay at home mom at the time. I had started some other businesses, always had an entrepreneurial spirit. And this is our family tradition. So I decided that I could take a metalsmithing class and learn how to make a bangle in my garage. Didn't think it was that hard. It's harder than it looks. Um, and then just kind of naturally had this customer base of my family. So started selling them out of my garage, truly just working during nap times, listened to a lot of how I built this in that garage. And really had no plans to, like, start this huge business, but the marketing, the pieces, the fact that you come back every year for another bangle, it just kind of grew from there.
