About gorjana

Based in Laguna Beach, California, the gorjana brand was founded in 2004 on the apartment floor of husband and wife duo Jason and Gorjana Reidel. The couple drove 50,000 miles to sell and market their collection and hit the trade show circuit. Through their own separate strengths and combined creative vision, the brand grew rapidly from an idea into a full-fledged business that is still owned and operated by both Gorjana and Jason. The eponymous line features fine jewelry as well as a selection of 18k gold plated styles. Many of the designs are versatile and feature adjustable clasps and sliding beads, which allows the wearer to make each piece their own.
