Gorjana (company)

Reidel and her husband launched the jewelry brand gorjana in 2004.[2]

In 2016, the Reidels opened their first jewelry brand store in Laguna Beach,[3] followed by a second store in Venice Beach. The 2018 opening of another store in the West Village was their first in New York City.[4][5] In August 2019 they opened a store in Malibu.[6]

The couple and the company have since opened 13 stores on both coasts, with plans for an aggressive retail expansion. Today the multi-million-dollar company has over 100 employees and more than 1,000 retailers worldwide.[2]

Of the "more is more" mindset, Gorjana's pieces are made to mix, match and layer. Her versatile, adjustable pieces offer the wearer the chance for self-expression and endless layering possibilities. Her designs have attracted celebrities such as Josephine Skriver, Olivia Wilde and Jessica Alba.[7]

A leader in contemporary jewelry, the gorjana line is found in over 1,000 department and specialty retail stores throughout the U.S.A.[8][9]
