This past September marked the first birthday of Bangles & Diamonds, a boutique jewelry store situated in idyllic Marblehead, MA. When we sat down with her at our summer show, owner Nicole Tremblay’s enthusiasm for her new endeavor was contagious! She was excited about the prospect of building a business that caters to her existing clientele and attracts new, like-minded customers, while also faithfully serving the tight-knit community of Marblehead. Conscientious about growing over time verses being an overnight sensation, Nicole seems well on her way to achieving her dreams!
