HOW FAR WE'VE COME

I don’t often focus on how far I have come with Q Evon. And when you are caught up in the day-to-day business of the business, you don’t always take pride in your accomplishments and the beauty of your creation.
For the last two years I’ve been traveling all over the world getting my fine jewelry collections up and running on luxury cruise ships. It has been a steep learning curve, a whirlwind of new designs and contract negotiations, and a huge amount of fun expanding my business internationally.
Upcoming engagements on cruise lines include Regent Seven Seas, Crystal, Seabourn, Viking Ocean and Oceania. Visit our EVENTS page to see where Q Evon Fine Jewelry Collections will be next.

Are We There Yet?

Last week I went back to the very beginning of my wholesale career. Kyle and I were in Philadelphia for the wholesale ACRE (American Craft Retailers Expo) show. Upon entering the convention center, I was greeted with a very tall banner spotlighting me as a featured “Maker.”
It has been two decades of hard work, focus, dedication, good times and hard ones – and yet I never feel like I have arrived or reached the highest level of which I am capable. I always feel that I must keep pushing forward.
Standing there, looking at myself in print, I smiled a secret little smile and felt a deep satisfaction. We’ve done it.
Always remember to stop along the way and celebrate your successes. Enjoy the ride, even while your eyes are on the destination.
