“When I was employed, I felt like I was sacrificing my freedom. I always wanted to be an entrepreneur.” With this mindset – plus the fact that she is highly allergic to any conventional jewelry – Chiara decided to create jewelry herself and to found her own brand. Together with her business partner she developed ‘MonVes’. This brand stands for beautiful hand-made earrings, necklaces and bracelets, which are made of materials which are suitable for everyone.
