From The Founder
Welcome to Josephine Collection!
I'm Chelsey Guo, and my journey in the world of fine jewelry began in 2016 when I graduated from the Gemological Institute of America (GIA). With a deep passion for the art of jewelry-making, I launched my first brand that same year, dedicating myself to crafting timeless pieces that resonate with elegance and craftsmanship.
In 2021, I welcomed my twin daughters into the world, a moment that profoundly changed my perspective. As I looked into their eyes, I realized the responsibility I have not only as a mother but also as a creator in an industry that has a significant impact on our environment. This awakening inspired me to seek a way to merge my love for jewelry with a commitment to sustainability.
In 2022, I founded Josephine Collection with a clear mission: to offer the same exquisite beauty of fine jewelry while significantly reducing our environmental footprint. We achieve this by exclusively using the finest quality lab-grown diamonds and gemstones, meticulously selected and crafted to the highest standards. Our pieces embody the same luxury and refinement you expect from traditional fine jewelry, but with a conscience.
As I continue my studies in Arts Administration at Columbia University, I'm more dedicated than ever to fostering change in the jewelry industry—creating a future where beauty, quality, and sustainability coexist harmoniously.
Thank you for being a part of this journey. Together, we can wear our values as beautifully as we wear our jewelry.
With love and gratitude,
Chelsey Guo
