ANZIE Stein, co-founded Anzie Jewelry, with her daughter, Jaclyn and Joanna after her husband was diagnosed at an early age with advanced colon cancer. It was born on the idea of creation as a healing process and as a means to celebrate the richness of life.

Before her move into the jewelry industry, Anzie studied fine art and was an artist as well as an art teacher while her business savvy daughter Jaclyn attended jewelry classes at FIT to nurture her creativity. This combination of aesthetic eye and a business sense, as well as a love of giving back to the community is likely what has propelled Anzie Jewelry from a small family-owned business to one that sells everywhere from independently curated fine jewelry stores to Saks on Fifth Avenue.
