We had the good fortune of connecting with Blaire Hebert and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Blaire, how do you think about risk?
I think there is no reward without risk. You have to put yourself out there and be willing to learn. I am a business owner but I also work in finance. Working in finance has helped me personally and in my business. A lot of things I learned on the job I have implemented in my jewelry business. Both require a lot, but the risks I have taken to get to this point have been worth it.

Can you give our readers an introduction to your business? Maybe you can share a bit about what you do and what sets you apart from others?

I believe what sets my business apart from others is the quality. My jewelry business’s main focus is quality and durability. The 826 Brand is only gold & silver jewelry. Gold & silver jewelry will never go out of style and it’s the foundation of anyone’s jewelry collection.

Building a business from the ground up definitely has its challenges. But those challenges can be rewarding. It motivates me to strive to be a better business woman.

I want the world to know that 826 Jewelry is here to give you the most durable and high quality jewelry for an affordable price.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
Ok so I’m currently living in the Bay Area of California, so the first stop is a Napa Winery. There is a train that will take you to different wineries and offer lunch or dinner along the way. Next stop is Spa time! The Wood House Spa can do no wrong. I recommend getting a hot stone massage and sip on some champagne.
Of course we have to go shopping! Walnut Creek has a cute shopping outlet that I like.
Oh and we can’t forget to eat. I really like this place called Creola. It is New Orleans inspired cuisine. It definitely reminds me of home.
Another great restaurant Would be RH Yountville Restaurant. Gorgeous decor and chandeliers. Great for classy pictures and cocktails.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
Yes, I would like to give a shout out to my family & close friends for their continuous support. They have definitely helped to push me and give great advice.
