Deep dives

The Origin of Crafted

Crafted, the fastest growing men's jewelry brand, was launched when a unique opportunity presented itself to its founder at the age of 32. The business rapidly gained traction, achieving impressive sales figures such as 1.6 million in its first year and skyrocketing to 11 million during the 2020 lockdown. The concept behind Crafted revolved around durable jewelry, which was a novel idea at the time, aiming to fill a gap in the market that had not been addressed by existing brands. The collaboration with a partner who had a sizable social media following also fueled the brand’s growth and visibility, contributing to its immediate success.
