Model, entrepreneur, advocate, mother, and wife Isabela Rangel Grutman can now add one more job to her résumé: jewelry designer and creator of Isa Grutman . Her fi rst collection is a showcase of dainty yet eye-catching jewelry, from delicate ear cuffs and chain anklets to slender bands dotted with diamonds and precious gemstones. To celebrate her design debut, Aventura caught up with the woman at the helm. (isagrutman.com) —Christiana Lilly

Aventura: What was the catalyst for creating a jewelry line?

Grutman: I’ve always loved to style jewelry uniquely and create bold looks with classic pieces. It was hard for me to find the perfect jewelry to execute ear stacks and jewelry styling sometimes. It was then that I decided I was going to create my own jewelry brand. I want women to feel beautiful and confident while wearing my pieces. What style were you going for in your designs?

XI always go for a classic, timeless style that has a bit of edge or vintage feel. I want customers to know that their purchase is a valued investment, and the pieces will always be a staple in their jewelry collection. Do any of the pieces have a personal backstory?

My birthday just passed on February 9. I wanted to design a piece that meant a lot to me and represented celebration. The lariat necklace is a limited-edition style [that] truly symbolizes how far I have come. What can we expect in the future? We have so many exciting ideas coming soon. It is just the beginning for Isa Grutman, and I can’t wait for everyone to see the hard work and dedication that goes into the brand and concepts.
