It was unexpected for anyone to have seen this coming. Monique Péan, a former employee at Goldman Sachs, started her own jewelry line back in 2003 and since then, has been very popular with celebrities and locals worldwide.
Her designs have won much attention in the US. You might have seen Michelle Obama wear one of Monique's designed necklaces, or in stores at Barneys. Although this has never always been the case. Only recently has the jewelry designer made it big in the US.
Regardless this, Monique has been able to push through, having no prior experience in the fashion or jewelry industry. What makes this jewelry designer so unique, is the eco-friendly designs and products that are all handmade.
