BACKGROUND

Jamie Rubin’s story was anything but planned. She was on the way to buy shoes for her son when it all started. She popped into an accessory boutique on the way, and the shop owner complimented her on her necklace. She commissioned a collection – and Jamie’s first order – on the spot. And from that moment, Jamie’s business has flourished at a frenzied pace, through a combination of raw talent, sheer hard work, word of mouth, persistence and an enviable ability for sales.
