Esmeralda Lambert (right) and her husband, Matthew Lambert, both MBA’11, founded her namesake jewelry company (esmeraldalambert.com) in 2013. She emails, “My company is filling a consumer gap for quality, lightweight statement jewelry, but, more important, we are creating jobs for women in my home country, the Dominican Republic. I am shown discussing one of my designs with a local artisan. My mother, Lucila, and I now work with half a dozen women, who hand-weave each piece. My collection includes over 200 statement and bridal designs and is available in more than 20 boutiques in Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and New Hampshire, as well as online.”
