Founder and CEO of The Jewelry Edit, Inc.

Rosena Sammi designed and crafted jewelry collections under her namesake line for more than a decade. Her jewelry was sold at all the leading department stores, worn by A-List celebrities such as Rihanna and Blake Lively and was featured in the likes of Vogue. However, she grew disenchanted with the rise of fast fashion and the lack of diversity in the jewelry industry.

So was born ‘The Jewelry Edit', a multi-brand e-commerce jewelry boutique carrying over 75 different designers, driven by a mission of social responsibility and diversity. 

Rosena believes in every human’s desire for individual expression. Her focus is on moving away from fast fashion’s disposable lifestyle and back towards the world of artisanship, individuality and self-awareness.

Prior to her roles in fashion, Rosena practiced corporate law for almost a decade at leading law firms in New Zealand and New York. Rosena is admitted to the New York Bar.
