Why Scaling Slowly Is THE Power Move

Why Scaling Slowly Is THE Power Move

Diamonds may be a girl’s best friend, but no one said they had to be real. This week on SUPERWOMEN, I’m joined by Melinda Maria, founder and CEO of the $40M jewelry brand that’s redefining luxury. From selling handmade pieces in Starbucks to seeing her designs on the red carpet, she’s built an empire without caving to investors, gimmicks, or the pressure to conform. We discuss how focusing on one thing helped her brand stand out, making “fake” diamonds feel more aspirational than the real thing. Two decades in, Melinda still owns 100% of her business, crediting every major decision to what’s right for the brand, not her ego.
