Inside the Design Studio | Kaira Jewelry

We're back with another of our "Inside the Design Studio" series! I've known the ladies at Kaira Jewelry for years, but I didn't realize that they were starting a jewelry line until a few years ago when their jewelry popped up on set for a magazine photo shoot we were doing. As soon as I realized who was behind the gorgeous gems, it made sense.

Kaira Jewelry is a Houston-based design house, specializing in diamonds and gemstones. Kaira was born with the intention of creating an experience between their customers and precious stones, while offering one of a kind pieces for one of a kind people. Kaira personalizes each visit with clients according to style, character, occasion and desire, ending in a one of a kind adventure.  

I was so happy that Yamilla and Denisse Salomon took time to take our little quiz. Denisse also gave me a little background about how their family business began!

How did you get your start?

I was born in Mexico City and at 16 years old I moved to Houston with my family where I finished high school and went to college. I did my undergrad in Business with a minor in Finance. After graduation, I worked in Oil and Gas for 2 years and in the family business for another 2 years -- until my mom, sister and I decided to follow our true passion, and this is where Kaira began.

In 2016, we established Kaira as a Houston-based design house, specializing in diamonds and gemstones. Our intention was to bring people closer to the world of precious stones.

We have always been very involved with jewelry because of my grandpa! He used to love jewelry and precious stones, so he passed on his knowledge to my mom, who decided to become a gemologist to follow his passion. With all this knowledge, it was easy for us to create a business out of the thing we love most! (Diamonds are a girl's best friend after all... Right?)

As with any new business, the beginning was a lot of work. We struggled in some aspects and flourished in others. But all I can say is that everyday left a lesson on how to do it better the next time it happened. So after 2 years of growth and a lot of work, I am so happy to look back at all we have accomplished. The only thing I can say is that we are incredibly blessed to be where we are right now and we are excited to see what the future holds for us!
