S3E10: Glitter&Gold Goals with Mallory Dougherty

In this episode, Kim and Mary interview Mallory Dougherty, founder of Glitter&Gold, a unique jewelry and accessories business.  Mallory grew up in a small town near Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, and later studied advertising and marketing at the University of South Carolina. Her career took unexpected turns, from selling wedding gowns to discovering her passion for accessories that transform simple outfits into statement looks. Inspired by her bridal styling days, Mallory launched Glitter&Gold, a brand that reflects her love for unique, curated pieces and her commitment to supporting small businesses.

Mallory’s approach to sourcing and selling jewelry sets her apart. Instead of sticking to traditional wholesale markets, she partners with small creators worldwide, often finding them on platforms like Etsy or Instagram. Her meticulous buying process and dedication to quality ensure every piece she sells is unique and personal. Whether designing her own products or collaborating with creators, Mallory balances quality, fair pricing, and customer appeal. Every item she offers reflects her style and her deep connection to her customers. Beyond her business, Mallory actively involves her two daughters, who help with tagging products, running cash registers, and learning the ropes of entrepreneurship. While she dreams of one day opening a brick-and-mortar store, Mallory remains focused on flexibility and creating a life that works for her family.

Mallory encourages other entrepreneurs to stay true to themselves, avoid fleeting trends, and build businesses aligned with their values. Her story is a testament that inspires others to dream big and create lives they love.
