The fashion designer and billion-dollar jewelry brand opened a new retail store at Westfield Garden State Plaza in Paramus.
The 1400-square-foot location features a color bar, allowing people to design their own jewelry and an onsite engraving machine.
Scott, a mom of three, started the business when her first son was just three months old.
“I’ve always had a love of natural gemstones, and noticed a white space in the jewelry market for quality styles and stones at an affordable price," she said on her website. "So, I decided to create them myself."
Slowly, slowly, the business grew. By 2015, Scott's jewelry business turned a profit of $75 million, Entrepreneur.com says. Two years later, she was named EY's Entrepreneur of the Year.
These days, Scott's business is reportedly worth more than $1 billion. With stores all over the U.S., the Garden State Plaza location is the second in New Jersey — the first being in Short Hills.
The Paramus location officially opened on Friday, May 26 and a grand opening is scheduled for the weekend of June 9.
