Hi, I'm Lana Nguyen, a jewelry designer originally from Los Angeles and currently based in New York City. I graduated with a degree in Fashion Design from California State University and continued my education in Jewelry Design at the Fashion Institute of Technology in NYC.

My journey in jewelry design started in 2007 at Fred Segal Santa Monica, where I was in sales and jewelry buying. It was a turning point when customers at Fred Segal showed interest in buying the designs I wore – my own creations, marking the beginning of my career in jewelry design.

Beyond my creative pursuits, I find joy in moments with loved ones, exploring new places, baking, and discovering treasures in vintage shops.

Currently, I'm a Senior Jewelry Designer at Centric Brands in NYC.
