You know when you can't wait to tell a friend everything that just happened, and she's expectantly looking at you, but you don't start the story because there are so many important parts, and you want to mention them all at exactly-the-same-time, but you can't because a single human can't say four sentences at one time, dammit, so you've got to stop and pause for a second just to figure out how and in what order the words need to come out? It's like that when I try think of how to logically introduce today's guests, Ivka Adam and Andrea Linett, the founder and creative director of Iconery, a tech-driven jewelry startup that leverages the power of 3D printing to deliver exclusive, customizable designs by sought-after independent designers in a couple of weeks (think Stone Fox Bride, Luv AJ and Maya Brenner). While there are plenty of options under $250, a sweet spot for the company is its ability to offer on-trend, cool girl pieces decked out in precious metals and conflict-free diamonds. Beyond the eye-candy (if you can stop fiddling around on the site, which was tres difficile pour moi), there's the pair's dual eBay past lives, Ivka's real deal approach to talking about entrepreneurship, Andrea's about-to-launch new book and her legacy as the founding creative director of Lucky magazine and the former creative director of Michael Kors, nbd.
