Jewelry has always been an important part of human cultures, serving several purposes that are deeply significant to each of us. Accessories are often the “cherry on top” to an overall outfit or look.
Our #MillennialQueenBoss for today, decided right after school to just keep herself busy and then, the idea for the jewelry business was born.
Nonye Kanu is a graduate of Chemical Engineering from the University of Lagos, Nigeria, a Brand Executive with a Communications Firm and is the CEO of My Jewelry Hub, a minimalist jewelry brand in Lagos, Nigeria.
Founded in December 2016, Jewelry Hub is a minimalist jewelry brand that was created right after Nonye finished school and wasn’t sure of what the next step was, all she wanted to do was stay busy. Fashion had always been her go to source for inspiration and chokers were a fashion trend at the time but she hated that there was lots of mass production and everyone had the same chokers. So, she learnt the basics of making chokers and started making hers to look different and unique.
Founding Jewelry Hub was a move that helped Nonye figure out the career path she really wanted. Also, because it wasn’t treated as a business initially, there were so many things she didn’t know. It wasn’t up until last year, she decided to fully re-brand and make it official.
One of the major core missions of the brand is to offer great quality at an affordable price. They believe everyone should own a beautiful piece of jewelry without breaking the bank.
We love to see millennial queen bosses like Nonye reach for higher heights. We are rooting for you girl!
