Grace&Heart is a social selling company the provides accessible and attainable business ownership to women. And by providing training, mentoring and community we help ensure her success.
Grace&Heart is a direct selling company that marries the magic of beautiful real jewelry at a democratic price point and the power of women who want to earn an income and build community. Our mission is to provide accessible and attainable business ownership to women who are looking to be part of a group of like-minded women that mentor and support each other. Direct selling is a time tested, proven model. And we have proven through testing and iteration that we can leverage this business model and execute a plan to capture part of this $34.5 B domestic market.
Company Overview
The Company, Grace&Heart, was formed in March of 2015. Grace&Heart is the marriage of two proven, time tested concepts. The first, women love jewelry. And again through our research we found that there is a gap in the market place. This gap is “real jewelry”, meaning “not fashion” and “not fine”, at a democratic price point. We define real from a materials standpoint or the use of mostly sterling silver and semi precious stones. The second proven concept is direct selling. Direct Selling is a $34.5B business in the US with over 18M Americans participating. (This will be discussed further in the Market Overview section.) It is a very successful approach to selling products like the jewelry that benefit from a one on one, hands on approach.
