Nadine Ghosn: the Evolution of an Unexpected Jewelry Designer.

When Nadine Ghosn wandered into a local neighborhood jeweler in Beirut to buy a gift for her sister a few years ago, she never expected it would be propel her into becoming one of the most sought after jewelry designers As Ghosn, pronounced "Go-in", explained, she had struck up a conversation with the owner of the store, a renowned Lebanese manufacturer who was running a sizable jewelry business After graduating from Stanford with a degree in Economics and Art, Ghosn gained an insider view of the luxury jewelry business during a Management Retail Program with Hermes at their Paris headquarters, while completing a tenure at Boston Consulting Group, where she had focused on the business of luxury.

On a month long break from negotiating a job offer, Ghosn went to visit her mother where she had met the Lebanese manufacturer, and realized an opportunity for both her and the jeweler In presenting her novel collection to the traditional manufacturer, Ghosn was met with hesitation from the craftsmen in creating pop culture pieces into fine jewelry Ghosn launched Nadine Ghosn Fine Jewelry in 2016 with a collection of bold yet quirky, tongue in cheek designs that paired recognizable pop icon pieces with high quality gemstones: a series of snake bracelets, paper clip necklaces, rings, and her iconic hamburger ring, simultaneously documenting the entire journey on social media.

Designed under the watchful eye of McDonald's IP team to ensure accurate representation, Ghosn delivered an eight ring creation of champagne diamonds, orange sapphires, white diamonds, and other gems between two 18K gold, diamond studded "Buns." Ironically, one of her clients won the ring. . Source
