About Us

 

Hi! I’m Carmen, the founder and co-owner of Empire Luxury.

When I was 11 years old, I had a dream of owning my own business just like my dad. So, I decided to start a jewelry business with a friend of mine. I was the one who made the jewelry and she was supposed to help me market and sell. Being 11 years old, we didn’t have the same kind of dreams. Mine being a successful businesswoman and hers being whatever 11-year-old girls want. Our little business, unfortunately, had to close as we were making no sales.

Fast forward 12 years later, a pandemic hit and everyone was stuck at home. I have never had so much time to myself. I didn’t know what to do. But, the moment came to me and I thought of why don’t I start a small business? Why don’t I start up that jewelry business idea I had when I was younger?

The idea kept beating at me, so I asked my fiancé, Vince, if he wanted to join in on this idea. He agreed and we began the journey. We spent so much time on testing pieces, figuring out what route we were going, and figuring out what kind of jewelry we wanted in our store. After all the blood, sweat and tears, well mostly my tears, Empire Luxury was born. 

As a couple-run small business, soon to be family-run, we at Empire Luxury strive to create and curate quality pieces of jewelry for every customer. 

If you are reading this, thank you so much for supporting us and we hope you enjoy our jewelry.
