Tin Foil + 15 Year Old Entrepreneur = Business Success
When 15-year-old Stefan began molding Reynolds tinfoil into objects, his mother Ruth wasn’t too pleased. She says that it was an expensive item to keep on hand.
One day, he presented one of his creations for his mom that changed her mind about his hobby. His design was a ring made from the shiny pliable material. The “diamond” in the center was an Altoid candy. Ruth thought the ring was good enough to show the jewelry industry.
In most cases the story would end with the presentation of the ring to his mother, but not for Stephan. He now has a thriving and unique jewelry business.
The overall design of Stefan’s ring is very elegant, looking like an engagement ring. What makes his design unusual is that the center stone is interchangeable. The band is platinum-plated not made from tin foil. The stones are crystal and come in nearly a dozen colors such as: White Diamond, Cotton Candy Pink, and Black Ice. Stefan looks for what colors are popular in the fashion world and then chooses his crystal colors.
The ring retails for around $30.00 and comes with three different stones. You can buy more stones at $8.00 each.
The now 18-year-old high school student sells his rings through many boutiques, the Internet, a couple of local stores in Scarsdale and New York City.
Stefan enjoys the thrill of seeing his product in stores or the Internet.
