Today we’d like to introduce you to Vivian Ferraz.
Hi Vivian, can you start by introducing yourself? We’d love to learn more about how you got to where you are today.
I started making jewelry when I was 18, back home in Brazil, I took a break from 21-28, During this time I was a flight attendant (traveled the world), moved to California, and had 2 kids.
I got married, quit my restaurant manager job, and went back to my jewelry.
Since 2013 I am making jewelry and selling at local pop-up markets in San Diego, OC area, and LA
I have my jewelry at 5 local handcraft stores
Because I make one-of-a-kind pieces it is hard for me to keep up with a website, but I sell at my Instagram.
Next year I will work on an online jewelry line so I can grow my website since a lot of customers ask for
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
Overall, it was a smooth road, and I am very happy with my business, working on I love and being my own boss is the best part of it.
Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your work?
I make all my jewelry with a Latino spice to it. The pieces are different and one-of-a-kind.
I can make over 50 pieces in a day, all of them unique.
I have a huge man’s selection
I am also a Reiki practitioner so I do Reiki on my jewelry so people can activate that “magic” any way they want
Is there a quality that you most attribute to your success?
The connection with the customers the quality of the jewelry
And my best salesperson, hubby
