Chatting with Joseph Ladin, CEO of SFLMaven, recently gone public as SFLM. Every item purchased comes with a 14-day Open Return Policy with no questions asked and a price-tag of 20-60% OFF retail. SFLMaven specializes in non-traditional affordable luxury that is sustainable and mostly pre-owned. They have recently expanded with some cool brand new consignment pieces from Thailand that are intricate and exciting.
Joseph Ladin was not born into this exclusive market, he had to learn the industry through experience and diligence, forging a path where there was none. SFLMaven is a top seller on EBAY with over 100,000 items sold and a 99.9% positive customer rating. All items are guaranteed and are tested with professional equipment for authenticity.
Where do you find your treasures?
Joseph Ladin: We purchase from Estate sales, dealers and stores. We follow what’s trending in Pop Culture and what is catching interest with celebrity engagements, as well as what athletes and actors in the public eye are wearing.
What is trending in the Engagement Ring market these days?
Joseph Ladin: Elongated stones are in fashion , Ovals, Emerald Cuts, Pear shapes. Stones that are vibrant with natural color like Pink and Yellow Diamonds, Rubies and Sapphires are popular. Cardi B has a Pear-Shaped Diamond. Katy Perry has an Oval Ruby with a Halo of Diamonds. Arianda Grande has gone individualistic with an asymmetrical Oval Diamond balanced with a pearl in a very thin setting.
Do you ever auction Designer Jewelry?
Joseph Ladin: Yes, we often get authentic pieces. Everything from Cartier, Van Cleef & Arpels to Le Vian. It’s important that we offer a wide range of price points so everyone can afford that special purchase.
Your auctions might be a great idea for the TV series ‘Marrying Millions’.
Joseph Ladin: I agree. ’90 Day Fiance’ would be my first choice. They have special potential because they are under so much pressure already. An engagement ring is probably the last thing on their minds, what with having to secure travel, Visas and all the rest. I would love to be able to offer couples a gifted ring the way Neil Lane is the official ring for ‘The Bachelor’.
Dreams do come true!
