Designer Ray Griffiths Featured in Forbes Magazine March 01, 2021 (0 comments)
New York, NY—Jewelry designer Ray Griffiths was recently the subject of an editorial feature in Forbes magazine. Kyle Roderick, a renowned jewelry writer and one of Centurion’s team of influencers, authored the piece, describing the Australian-born designer’s journey to the United States, and on how the pandemic has forced him to adjust his business, including a brand-new e-commerce site.

From the article:
“2020 was the first year that I was unable to tour the U.S. doing trunk shows at independent jewelers and luxury department stores due to the pandemic,” Griffiths said. “I have been working with some of the same jewelry stores for 18 years, so the customers and I know each other very well. We all socialize when I come to their towns and stay in touch throughout the year. Many of these people feel like family to me.” An irrepressible extrovert and frequent philanthropist, Griffiths is donating a portion of his February and March 2021 jewelry website sales to the nonprofit mental health organization The Child Mind Institute. “I am donating to this organization in memory of a family member,” he explained “I’m also giving because of all the people I know who’ve mentioned that their children have struggled with remote learning and missing their friends throughout the COVID pandemic.”
