Maya Brenner’s eponymous jewelry line first caught the public’s attention more than 20 years ago, while the jeweler was still creating pieces out of her studio apartment and working full-time as a social worker. Specializing in fine, 14K gold jewelry, Maya Brenner Designs boasts a slew of celebrity admirers, including Meghan Markle who first revealed her relationship with Prince Harry thanks to Maya's Asymmetrical Letter Necklace's "MH" initials. The LA-based jeweler caught up with Michael and Alli to talk about the brand's many successful collaborations, moving to Los Angeles and starting from scratch, and the transformative power of a necklace. Keep up with Maya at mayabrenner.com and @mayabrenner, and don't forget to follow @alliwebb for #BTS of Raising The Bar and subscribe and rate us!
