Who is Monica Rich Kosann
Monica Rich Kosann is an American jewelry designer and renowned photographer. Before starting her namesake company in the early 2000s, Monica was a portrait photographer with a passion for storytelling. Her brand is an evolution of that passion she had as a photographer—capturing a special moment, telling an empowering story.
The Monica Rich Kosann brand launched with the creation of vintage-inspired photo cases that were modeled after original cigarette and powder compacts. The brand has since grown to include high-end jewelry pieces. Monica Rich Kosann’s jewelry collections grew from her lifelong love of all things vintage. She was particularly fascinated by lockets—who wore them, what did they hold—and she wondered why no one was making lockets that were young, contemporary, and sexy. A defining moment on her path towards jewelry-making, she decided to fill that void. Her classic yet contemporary designs have gone on to include necklaces, bracelets, charms, rings, and of course, her beloved lockets. Today, Monica Rich Kosann jewelry stands on the firm belief that jewelry should be more than just beautiful; it should also empower and inspire its wearer.
