Today we’d like to introduce you to Katia Rudnick.
Katia, before we jump into specific questions about the business, why don’t you give us some details about you and your story.
We are often told to look back into our childhood to know what is our true calling in life. Growing up in Soviet Russia as a little girl I was always drawn to magic world of art and design. I remember experiencing a sense of happiness and completion whenever I was in any creative environment. Anything I could make with my hands excited me: drawing, sawing, woodworking, crocheting, cooking…building. Fast forward I am a wife and a mother to three awesome daughters living in South Florida.
After years working in health and beauty industry, something was still missing. I was looking and searching and it came to me in the moment of inspiration. I walked into local jewelry class and that instant I just knew I found it. I decided to design jewelry that not only looks beautiful but also carries a special personal significance. From that day on I have not stopped… Through this journey, I have been blessed to meet so many wonderful strong amazing women. Because of this, I have grown and learned so much about myself. And that’s how KLASPI was born. I make spiritual jewelry that speaks to your heart and enhances your day.
We’re always bombarded by how great it is to pursue your passion, etc – but we’ve spoken with enough people to know that it’s not always easy. Overall, would you say things have been easy for you?
There are always going to be bumps on the road. It’s how you react to them. If you take it as a learning curve and not as a reason to give up than you will continue evolving.
We’d love to hear more about your business.
I make one of a kind jewelry pieces that carry a spiritual and empowerment message. The intention for my jewelry to enhance your day and make it better.
What I am most proud of is that I have started this process on my own and continuously building it and reinventing it and making it better and better. What I’m also proud of is attracting an amazing tribe of women who inspire me daily.
What makes my jewelry extra special is an invention that I came up with. It’s a double-sided magnetic clasp that allows you to wear my necklaces in many different ways. This concept is being patent and I’m super excited about it.
Has luck played a meaningful role in your life and business?
I wouldn’t call it luck. You do your best. And you become as visible as possible and different opportunities come your way. It’s really up to you to pay attention and take it or not.
