At least six jewelry companies have made the Inc. 5000, the magazine’s yearly ranking of the 5,000 fastest-growing privately held small businesses in the United States.
Among the jewelry companies that JCK spotted on Inc.’s annual list, now in its 37th year:
– Liberty, Mo.–based Nickel and Suede, which makes jewelry and accessories out of leather and started from an Etsy shop, landed at 127, with three-year growth of 3,101 percent and 2017 revenue of $4.1 million. Its founder, a mother of five, also received a separate Inc. profile.
– Columbia, Ill.–based Inspiranza Designs, which sells sterling silver jewelry online, came in just behind it at 157, with three-year growth of 2,679 percent, and 2017 revenue of $2.9 million.
– Miami-based Moonglow Jewelry ranked 1,957th, with three-year growth of 228 percent, and 2017 revenue of $3.7 million.
– Philadelphia retailer Shyne Jewelers came in at 2,050, with three-year growth of 217 percent, and 2017 revenue of $4.9 million.
– Hyde Park, Mass.–based Dune Jewelry, which makes jewelry with beach sand, grabbed the 2,590th spot, with three-year revenue growth of 164 percent and 2017 revenue of $3.4 million.

Among the jewelry companies that have appeared on the widely watched ranking in the past: Alex and Ani, which in 2014 landed in third place; e-tail site Allurez; Fast-Fix Jewelry Repair, which made the list several times; and, over a decade ago, watch brand Skagen.
The companies on the 2018 Inc. 5000 achieved a three-year average growth rate of 538.2 percent and a median rate of 171.8 percent. Their aggregate 2017 revenue was $206.1 billion.
“If your company is on the Inc. 5000, it’s unparalleled recognition of your years of hard work and sacrifice,” said James Ledbetter, Inc. editor-in-chief, in a statement. “The lines of business may come and go, or come and stay. What doesn’t change is the way entrepreneurs create and accelerate the forces that shape our lives.”
