Hi BEN ONI Besties,
I'm excited to welcome you to the first post on our brand-new BEN ONI blog! I am Ashley Newman, the founder and creative mind behind BEN ONI Jewelry. I'm thrilled to have this space where we can connect on a deeper level, share what's happening behind the scenes, and keep you in the loop with everything jewelry and trends.
A Little About Me and Why I Started BEN ONI
I started BEN ONI with a vision—to create jewelry that was not only beautiful but accessible and long-lasting. Growing up between Harlem and the Bronx and later exposed to luxury living on the Upper East Side, I knew I wanted my brand to reflect both worlds. You'll see that balance in our collections: urban statement pieces and elegant luxury-inspired designs.
Before launching BEN ONI, I worked retail—a job I didn't love but one that pushed me to leap into entrepreneurship. I realized I could take control of my creativity and build something meaningful. So, I took the plunge, and here we are five years later, crafting pieces that I'm so proud of and that you can wear for years to come.
Why This Blog Exists
I wanted to create this blog as a place where we can connect. Think of it as our little corner of the internet, where I get to keep you updated on the latest drops, share tips and tricks for styling your favorite pieces, talk about trends in the jewelry world, and give you an insider look at the product development process. It's also a space where I can speak to you directly as the founder—no layers of big business, just me, sharing my passion and love for what we're creating together.
What You Can Expect Moving Forward
In the coming weeks, you can expect posts about new product launches, behind-the-scenes moments, trend insights, and even styling tips for your favorite BEN ONI pieces. Whether you're looking for updates or want to talk jewelry with me, this blog will be your go-to spot for all things BEN ONI.
