In this conversation, we explore how Rachel grew her business organically (with no investment!) over more than a decade, evolving from early designer-maker beginnings and trade shows to a refined East London showroom with a strong waiting list for bespoke commissions. We discuss the turning points that shaped her brand, including the decision to focus on bridal, the importance of carrying a clear signature style through every collection, and the realities of opening and sustaining a physical retail space in one of the most competitive luxury markets in the world. Topics include: • defining a recognisable design handwriting that evolves over time • building a bridal and bespoke business without outside investment • the role of physical retail in a digital-first world • how customer expectations around engagement rings have changed • balancing creative development with commercial consistency • navigating rising material costs and long-term brand growth A thoughtful conversation about ambition, risk-taking, and the long-term value of developing a clear point of view in a crowded market.
