In this episode of The Newport Psycho, hosts Madison Shreeve and Ashley Estrada sit down with celebrity jeweler Kyle Chan for a conversation about creativity, entrepreneurship, and what it really takes to build a luxury brand.

Kyle shares how a high school jewelry class sparked a lifelong passion that eventually led him to create pieces for some of the biggest names in entertainment, including Lady Gaga, Beyoncé, Taylor Swift, Mariah Carey, Blackpink, Miley Cyrus, and more. He opens up about the realities of working with celebrity stylists, designing custom jewelry for world tours and major events, and the lessons he's learned from some of the world's most recognizable names.

The conversation also dives into engagement ring trends, lab-grown vs. natural diamonds, personal style, building confidence, and Kyle's journey from selling handmade jewelry at flea markets to becoming one of Hollywood's most sought-after jewelry designers.
