Join us in this episode of Thrive by Design as we dive into the inspiring journey of Jennifer Carey, a fourth-generation jewelry maker and valued member of the Flourish & Thrive community. Jennifer and her husband used to craft beautiful jewelry pieces from their garage, hustling day and night to meet demand. But the handmade jewelry grind took its toll, leading to unexpected challenges when Jen fell ill, and they had to close shop. The good news? This story has a happy twist! Jennifer is now part of Riyalto, where she helps jewelry designers tap into the manufacturing powerhouses used by industry giants like Tiffany and David Yurman. With Riyalto, smaller brands and makers benefit from lower pricing and minimums, opening new doors for their creativity. We'll explore why it's so tough for designers to let go of the manufacturing process and how Riyalto bridges the gap. When you're handcrafting everything, time becomes a limitation, and it's challenging to find help that fits your needs. That's where Riyalto comes in as your jewelry-making ally. Think of Riyalto as your jewelry manufacturing matchmaker. Jennifer, with her background in the jewelry business, understands the struggles faced by smaller brands that don't require massive quantities.

Their technology-driven platform provides transparency throughout the manufacturing process, so you're never left in the dark.
