In honor of L. Priori’s 9th birthday, we sat down with Lauren to ask her some fun questions about this exciting milestone! Read on to hear about some of her favorite moments, what jewelry she’s eyeing next, and her birthday wishes for LPJ.
Q: If you had to make a birthday wish for the company this year, what would you wish for?
LP: I wish for more of the same! Truly, we have the best clients and we hope to just keep doing more of what we do best – custom!
Q: 9 years in, what are some of your favorite memories of the company?
LP: Anytime we get to celebrate a work anniversary! I am really proud of our retention rate, and a lot of our team members have been here over 5 years. We work hard to make LPJ a place people want to stay.
Q: Has your vision of LPJ changed over the last 9 years?
LP: The goal hasn’t changed much – help clients create heirloom quality custom jewelry, in an easy and approachable way. What has changed is that it’s not just me anymore! Our team is incredible, and I couldn’t have grown this much without them.
Q: What's your favorite part about running LPJ?
LP: I love going through the finished box. It never gets old seeing all the cool jewels that our clients and sales consultants dream up.
Q: If you were to buy a piece of jewelry to celebrate LPJ's 9th birthday, what would you get yourself?
LP: Ooohh yes, any excuse to add to my jewelry box!! I would love a new big right-hand ring. I love a chunky gold moment!
Q: LPJ's birthstone is Aquamarine - which aquamarine ring would you pick?
Heather Ring | Issa Ring | Kinsey Ring
LP: Hands down, the Issa ring. I spotted her at an antique jewelry show and it was love at first sight. It’s constructed from handmade gold wire, and the craftsmanship is unreal.
