“Fine fashion jewelry” designed by two lovely ladies who know all about fine and fashion.
DuttonSanFelipe is a jewelry line founded and operated by two business partners who are also the best of friends. The business name is a clever combination of their last names. I got a chance to talk with one of the owners of this 2009 company.
“In Stacey I have the right partner, both creatively and business-wise. We’re also best friends and that makes it even more fun,” says Shamrah San Felipe-Frazier, an actor and native of Northern California, who moved to Los Angeles and discovered even more channels of creativity – this time with gold.
She ran her own business of special events decor and interior design. An interesting event was a client who wanted an all-white party – which meant every piece of furniture and décor had to be in white. As a cheerful conversationalist, Shamrah definitely knows how to manage creative characters.
On a similar wavelength is Stacey Dutton, who handled the hectic casting projects for inStyle network, on shows such as "Clean House." Stacey is the other brilliant half of DuttonSanFelipe.
“Yes, Stacey still casts Style Network's ‘Clean House’,” Shamrah says excitedly, and in clear support of her best friend. “AND she just won an EMMY!” She adds, “Stacey was also the host of TLC's "Clean Sweep" which can still be seen daily (in reruns) on TLC.”
Their proud accomplishment in their first year of business was enlisting their line with Generales & Generales, "Jeweler to the Stars for 40 yrs" and considered a reputable name in fine jewelry.
With these two style professionals, it seems to hold true what Alfred A. Montapert meant when he said, “All lasting business is built on friendship.”
