Monique Péan may have kicked off her career as an investment banker at Goldman Sachs, but a love for the arts and design led her to her current flourishing career as a fine jewelry designer. After spending three years in finance, Péan began to take design courses on her time off. It didn't take long for Péan to realize that fashion was her true calling and she subsequently left her gig to launch a successful namesake line of jewelry in 2006. In addition to making her mark in the fashion world, Péan, who strives to be socially responsible, made a decision to keep her line eco-friendly in addition to being innovative and über-stylish.
In an industry where doing good often takes a back seat to looking good, Péan is a one-of-kind independent spirit that adds new meaning to fashionably giving back.
