Jacob & Co

Get to know Jacob Arabo and Benjamin Arabov. Jacob Arabo's rise in the luxury watch and jewelry industry is a true rags to riches story. He arrived in the U.S. from Uzbekistan and spend his teenage years learning the jewelry trade, eventually creating his own pieces before launching as Jacob & Co. in 1986.

Marla Aaron has partnered with chef Jose Andres' World Central Kitchen, which is currently raising funds to help restaurants open, and their teams working, through its Take a Seat for Restaurants campaign.

Random Thoughts

To be honest, I am worried that the pandemic has changed the way we look at things. Not only has COVID-19 affected our lives in unimaginable ways, but also impacted our habits from work to shopping. People are increasingly questioning the integrity of the products they buy. This is common in the jewelry industry where purchases are very personal and emotional. I hope that once everything goes back to normal, there will be optimism and hope that the jewelry market will be revived and the industry will recover and grow.
