THE WORLD OF LAB DIAMONDS with Rebecca Klodinsky

At just 24, Rebecca Klodinsky turned $2,000 into a global swimwear brand, IIXIIST, worn by the likes of Kylie Jenner, Rihanna, Hailey Bieber. and Kim Kardashian. Built without investors, retail stores, or influencer hype, she proved that smart digital strategy and authentic branding could outperform traditional retail.

Nine years later, Rebecca co-founded The Prestwick Place, a modern, ethical fine jewellery brand, alongside her husband, former AFL player Lachie Henderson. Focused on lab-grown diamonds, bespoke craftsmanship, and transparent pricing, the brand has redefined luxury for the next generation, scaling to over $3 million in annual sales with 75% of purchases coming directly from Instagram.

Bec likes to solve problems. She couldn’t find the bikini she wanted, so she went to Indonesia and found a factory that would make it for her. When she and Lachie started talking about tying the knot in 2020, the more Bec learned about the diamond trade and what a ‘bad investment’ mined diamonds were, she learnt all she could about the lab-grown trade. 

I wanted to hear more from Bec on how she built not one, but two powerhouse brands as well as having two young children and navigating all that entails. If you're into disrupting industries, building high-conversion brands, or redefining what modern luxury looks like, this one’s for you. Let's dive in.
