Sparkling Jewels: The theme of our fall collection is Bonded Together; Being a tribute to being together, living life together, and realizing dreams together. What does "together" mean for you?

Elles: At Bonded Together I have to think of our connected team. Only you are faster, together you get further. We keep brainstorming sessions weekly. Looking together at what is fun and giving people responsibility and empowering their strength. Communication must be open and honest and everything can be there.

Sparkling Jewels: Our jewelry is colorful, exuberant, challenging and versatile. How does this stand your passion and work?

Elles: The most important thing is connection, communication plays an important role in that, but you also have to do a little “Sparkling" look. You must have a good energy to be able to do business and keep your team together.
