Mejuri

We are proud to celebrate an important milestone for four remarkable women who are helping shape the future of Zambia’s gemstone and jewellery sector. Originally trained as gem cutters, they have completed their diploma studies in teaching methodoloy, marking a powerful transition from skilled artisans to educators and mentors. This journey has not only strengthened their technical expertise, but also built the confidence, communication, and leadership skills needed to guide others. As one graduate shared, teaching is not just about delivering knowledge, but about connecting with learners and supporting their growth. This mindset is exactly what the industry needs as it evolves. The next chapter is already underway. These women will step into paid teaching roles with DTA, contributing to the goldsmithing and jewellery manufacturing diploma programs at the Technical and Vocational Teachers College (TVTC) and Mukuni Goldsmith and Lapidary Atelier. Their work will directly support the development of the next generation of Zambia's jewellery and gemstone talent. This is more than a graduation. It is a step toward greater inclusion, stronger skills development, and more women in leadership within the sector. Behind every skilled graduate is an ecosystem of support, investment, and belief in what is possible. Expanding opportunities for women in the gemstone and jewellery sector requires partners who are ready to move from intention to action. By collaborating with us and funding future cohorts, you play a direct role in creating paid teaching pathways that turn expertise into leadership and impact. Thank you to Mejuri Holly McHugh (she/her) Noura Sakkijha and Candace Steinhart for your immense support.

Thank you Positive Luxury for shortlisting us for Jeweller of The Year Award! We’re honoured to be recognized among leading changemakers transforming the industry for the better. This acknowledgment reflects not only what we’ve achieved so far but also our ongoing commitment to learning, growing, and driving meaningful impact across the jewelry industry.

As the year comes to a close, I’ve been reflecting on what we’ve accomplished. 2025 was the most challenging year we’ve had. We navigated the lowest consumer sentiment since 2020, rapidly rising gold prices, and sudden trade policy changes in one of our largest markets — all in a very short period of time. (One day, maybe when I write a book, I’ll unpack all the details.) None of it was easy. What I’m most proud of is how quickly our team stepped in, adapted, and stayed focused on protecting the customer experience. Despite the challenges, we kept moving forward. We grew Mejuri, opened 15 stores, expanded into the Middle East, adjusted our sourcing and distribution strategy in record time, and introduced incredible products — including our second launch of Salmon Gold, to name a few. As we wrap up the year, I’m energized by how the jewelry industry continues to evolve. As traditional luxury becomes more expensive and less accessible, there’s a clear shift toward meaning, self-purchase, and everyday wear. This is exactly what Mejuri was built on — thoughtful design, great craftsmanship, and attainable prices. From day one, we believed jewelry should be about self-expression — about marking the milestones that matter to you. “Buy yourself the damn diamond” wasn’t a slogan; it was a mindset. To now see this philosophy reflected as a core industry trajectory — and to see Mejuri referenced in the McKinsey study and BoF article — is a powerful reminder that we didn’t just follow a trend. We helped define a category. Most importantly, thank you to our community — for showing up for us, believing in us, and continuing to be our champions through it all. We truly wouldn’t be here without you. Grateful for our team, our partners, and our community — and excited for what’s ahead. https://lnkd.in/gqQWge_H

We’re excited to share a new interview featuring our CEO and Co-Founder, Noura Sakkijha, with Katie Couric Media, where she dives into building Mejuri! https://lnkd.in/e6Wuy_Bn

Last month, we opened our doors to teams from Domaine, Shopify, and Fasken for a series of Sip & Shop events that reminded us why in-store experiences matter. As a brand that has put community at our core since inception, these weren’t just gatherings; they were moments of connection, celebration, and discovery. Mejuri’s Sip & Shop has become one of the most meaningful ways for us to bring people together. - Private access to our stores that were designed to feel welcoming - Personalized support from expert stylists  - Light bites and bubbly that set the tone - A unique shopping experience designed around relationship-building, not transactions. And the response spoke for itself. Teams are still talking about their evenings with us — the energy, the service, the simplicity of hosting something elevated and memorable. As we look ahead, we’re continuing to build at the intersection of jewelry, culture, and community. Sip & Shop offers a new way for companies to celebrate milestones, thank their teams, and experience Mejuri together. Thank you to our partners and our retail teams for making these moments feel special. This is just the beginning. If this is something you’d like to offer to your team or clients, message us at corporatesales@mejuri.com
