707 Monica Rich Kosann: Founder & Chief Creative Officer of Monica Rich Kosann

On this episode of The Kara Goldin Show, I sit down with Monica Rich Kosann, Founder and Chief Creative Officer of her namesake jewelry brand, Monica Rich Kosann—a luxury brand known for creating jewelry that empowers women to tell their stories. What began with vintage lockets and antique cigarette cases has grown into a collection carried in over 150 stores across the country, including Neiman Marcus and Bergdorf Goodman, and beloved by celebrities like Nicole Kidman, Jennifer Lopez, and Taylor Swift. In our conversation, Monica shares her journey from being a sought-after portrait photographer to building one of the first luxury jewelry brands to achieve B Corp certification. We dive into the inspiration behind her iconic modern lockets, how she scaled a purpose-driven company, and why sustainability, craftsmanship, and storytelling are at the core of her business. Monica also shares what it’s like working alongside her husband, building a legacy brand, and empowering customers through meaningful design. If you’re interested in creative entrepreneurship, sustainable luxury, or how one woman turned her passion into a purpose-filled business, this episode is one you won’t want to miss.
