CLAUDIA: Once upon a time (20+ years ago) a talented young jewellery designer named Claudia Grundman embarked on a glittering entrepreneurial journey peppered by all kinds of fabulous including being crowned Fashion Magazine’s “It Girl” and Report on Business’s “Leading Designer To Watch Out For.” She launched her award-winning Claudia Accessories at 22 and went on to mastermind coveted pieces for a devoted clientele that ran the gamut from fashion-forward costume jools to today’s luxury must-have statement-makers. Through the years, her mesmeric creations have been featured in the pages and on the platforms of the most revered well-read publications and she’s dressed the A-list à la Rihanna, Sharon Stone, and our precious own, Celine Dion. She’s also worked with the planet’s most prestigious jewellery brands as Vice-President of Sales, Design and Marketing. Today, you can usually find her in her studio, crafting the next big thing in contemporary luxury bling.
JULIE: Once upon a time (20+years ago), an aspiring young chef named Julie Naimer knew that her love of the epicurean could lead in one direction only. And it did. The highly decorated culinary-trained private chef blazed a spectacular trail in the foodie world, curating the most exquisite private dinner parties and grand events for the country’s most discerning clientele. (We wish we could bold face print even a representative sample but unfortunately have been sworn to secrecy lest we never savour another magnificent morsel of Chef Julie’s mastery!) To say that she has the gift of elevated taste in all senses of the word is a gross understatement as the homegrown talent has also routinely worked with some of the globe’s most impressive food emporiums, sought after for her expertise and experience.
TOGETHER: Predictably, the gifted entrepreneurs have outdone themselves as a pair, outputting one of the most exciting new luxury jewellery brands we’ve seen in a while: Claudia Grundman Jewelry. Proudly Canadian, the fine & fun range is Montreal born (globally bound!) fashioned from the highest quality Diamonds, Gemstones & Gold, and heavily inspired by the Party City’s playful pulse. The two also draw inspiration from the astonishments of nature in addition to a collective mad love for trend-setting style and effortless beauty. It’s no wonder their signature statement Lobewear is taking the style savvy by storm. Designed to own separately, rock uniquely and wear iconically, fans of all ages can’t get enough (including this smitten fan gal). But pacesetters take note, this is only the beginning; from ear to everywear.
