Jewelries designed with fantasy and consummate taste are magic fashion items that can turn any outfit into a wild sensation. Rachel Leigh is the brand that knows the secret behind the magic and charm of such exquisite items. And since its launch in 2004, Rachel Leigh has been at the forefront of premium jewelry design. With an instinctive feel for trends, the brand is always putting forward a line that is chic, highly versatile and always bold.

Rachel Leigh jewelry line has a one of a kind history that matches beautifully its unique designs. Most of the famous brands in the fashion industry are built by experienced fashion designers who are equally the product of their talent and academic training. This is not the case of Rachel Blumenthal, the creator and designer of Rachel Leigh, who never had a formal education in the fashion field. Nevertheless, her innate talent proved sufficient to attract admiration and to build a powerful high fashion brand.

Rachel Blumenthal reveals the fateful moment which brought her on the cutting edge of fashion design. “I was a publicist at Yves Saint Laurent. I loved my job and never planned to be a jewelry designer. I designed a ring (semi-precious stones and gold wire ring) for my mom’s birthday. I was wearing it on an appointment with editors from Lucky and they loved the ring – they actually stole it off my finger to show their director. The next thing I knew, they were doing a feature on me as “One to Watch” – hot up and coming designers. I had no previous experience or knowledge of the industry nor a degree in design. After the Lucky feature hit, within weeks I was featured in Daily Candy and the rest is history.”

Rachel realized her potential, and, in 2004 left YSL to launch her own jewelry line. The beginnings were hard and Rachel struggled with the production process. She made all the jewelry by hand and met clients through links in the fashion industry and product requests from Lucky and Daily Candy. On her first fashion show at Henri Bendel, Rachel hand-made more than 200 rings and necklaces working night and day to finish on time. But all the hard work paid off! Now, Rachel Leigh shows off in showrooms in New York, Los Angeles, Dallas, San Francisco, Scandinavia, Germany, Paris, the Middle East, Japan, Korea and Canada. Also, the brand is present in high-end department stores, designer boutiques worldwide and, of course, all over the web.

Rachel Leigh design aesthetic has the sole aim to serve a highly sophisticated and fashion conscious woman. Rachel describes the line through the personality of her clients: “Rachel Leigh designs for the girl with confidence, who is always in command, doesn’t take herself too seriously and is the life of the party. She’s versatile with an ever changing look to fit her mood; one night she is uptown chic sophistication with a bit of an edge, the next night she is downtown trendy glamour and by day she is refined casual. She mixes it up with the perfect balance – always feeling confident and making a statement. The Rachel Leigh girl knows who she is and uses her wardrobe and jewelry to play off of her personality.”
