DMTV Milkshake: Meg Strachan on the Truth About Entrepreneurship
Founder of fast-growing, lab-grown jewelry brand Dorsey, Meg Strachan shares some very honest advice about the lonely entrepreneur journey.
Meg Strachan?s grandmother is the namesake for her brand of lab-grown gemstones: Dorsey. It?s a fitting tribute for a woman who, Strachan says, taught her about the importance of elegance. ?My grandmother, Dorsey, was married for 73 years to my grandfather, Howard,? she says. ?And she had a wedding ring, but she was always changing her rings, and some days she wouldn’t wear any ring at all. I always loved that ? I thought that it was very modern, and I thought it was interesting that she would buy rings for herself. Some of them were expensive and some of them were not expensive at all. My grandmother had fine jewelry and costume jewelry ? and I could never find the types of pieces that she gave to me.? ?
That perspective has informed Dorsey, the brand, from the start. When Strachan started out, she was the odd jewelry-seeker who wasn?t looking for a wedding or engagement ring, a spot in the marketplace she found curiously underserved. ?When I started my company, I was already married, and I didn’t have any interest at that time in the bridal market,? she says in this week?s Milkshake. ?I was looking for beautiful tennis bracelets and Revere necklaces and archive-feeling pieces with design and craftsmanship from the ?20s and ?30s and ?40s. And they were very difficult to find.?
