  • Toast of the Town | Christen Delaney

    Toast of the Town | Christen Delaney

    An interview with Christen Delaney| Founder of CAM Jewelry

    Why She's the Toast of the Town

     

    I was recently introduced to Christen Delany the founder of CAM Jewelry. The intro came by way of a Youtube video she’d created to show behind the scenes of her work. I knew within a few minutes of watching that this was a girl I was going to like.

    Lucky for me, Christen invited me over to her Venice home for an interview. I’m happy to say that I was proved right.

    On her website she describes her business as, “

    CAM is the debut jewelry collection from LA ­based installation artist and designer Christen DeLaney. Each piece of CAM is “wearable sculpture”, influenced by shapes and patterns found in geometry and numerology, which hold significance rooted in a deeper universal meaning. CAM consists of two collections ­ a signature fine jewelry line, which delicately incorporates gemstones such as onyx, rubies, garnet, and emeralds into geometrically shaped fixtures of 14k yellow and rose gold, as well as a diffusion collection that works clear quartz crystals, opal and turquoise into 100% recycled white metal. Every piece of CAM is intended for layering, stacking, mixing, matching and can be worn anytime, anywhere. From initial concept to finished product, CAM is designed and manufactured with meticulous craftsmanship and detail in Los Angeles.

    Inspired by the desert and natural surroundings of California and the West Coast, designer Christen Delaney integrates timeless shapes and styles that are masculine in the overall design but have feminine details. With a background in installation art, Christen’s approach to designing jewelry is very similar to how she creates her art. She envisions each piece on a large scale, as an art piece or installation, then works it into a smaller form. The jewelry holds on to the larger meaning and influence behind it, with intentions for that meaning to grow and evolve the more it’s worn.” – http://www.cam-jewelry.com/about/

  • An Interview with the Co-founders of Vrai & Oro

    An Interview with the Co-founders of Vrai & Oro

    Learning to Live Authentic with the founders of Vrai & Oro

    “Be true to the way you are and live in a way that makes you feel good. Live in the moment in a way that makes the next even better.”

    One of the thing that most excites me about leading The Single Diaries is that it has been an incredible way to get to connect with other entrepreneurial young women. The more time we spend growing the site, the more women we come across with inspiring stories to tell. From starting their own yoga practices to traveling the world volunteering to building their own companies, we have been able to use the site to tell some pretty amazing stories from our Single Girls.  It is my hope that not only does our site help to spread the word about the work they are doing but also inspires you, our readers, to go after whatever it is that you are most passionate about. At the end of the day our mission is to help you be authentically you and to provide you with the advice to help you live the life you want to lead.

    The latest Single Girls I had the pleasure of sitting down with have built a company around that same vision. Vanessa and Chelsea are the leading ladies behind the just-launched jewelry site Vrai & Oro. Their brand promise is to bring you fine jewelry without the markups but their purpose goes much deeper.

    I sat down with these two to learn more about the lifestyle of authenticity they hope to inspire through their high-quality jewelry and to learn more about the journey that has led these two young women on a mission to disrupt the long-standing jewelry industry.
