Avani and Rupa Patel
Rupa Patel always had a flair for fashion, jewelry and selling. She began her career as an Avon saleswoman in 1988, and took the risk of transitioning from a homemaker to a business owner when she opened Reflections Diamond Jewelry in 2005.
At her store, Patel offers custom designed pieces at great prices for any occasion. Her daughter Avani joined the team when she was 17 years old.
After completing her bachelor’s degree in accounting at Birmingham Southern College in 2011, Avani began working full time at Reflections Diamond Jewelry. Shortly after, she moved to Carlsbad, Calif. to complete her industry classes in jewelry. She graduated in December 2012 from the Gemological Institute of America in Graduate Gemology, Jewelry Design and CAD/CAM. This mother daughter duo stands ready to storm the industry with their innovative ideas and one of a kind custom designer jewelry.
