Building a Legacy in Diamonds ft. Gabe & Danny Arik | Coffeez for Closers with Joe Shalaby
In this episode of Coffeez for Closers, we sit down with Gabe and Danny Arik—brothers, entrepreneurs, and the power behind Happy Jewelers, one of the most respected names in the jewelry world.
Born into a family legacy that began in Istanbul and continued in L.A.’s diamond district, Gabe and Danny turned a humble manufacturing background into a nationwide brand trusted by celebrities, collectors, and everyday customers alike. From taking risks on inventory most jewelers wouldn’t touch to becoming early adopters of social media and influencer marketing, they’ve redefined what it means to run a luxury jewelry business with authenticity and heart.
We talk about:
- How they scaled from Fullerton to worldwide recognition
- Why reputation in the jewelry game means everything
- The truth behind million-dollar watch trades and the real risks no one talks about
- Raising kids with grit, balancing family legacy, and why they’ll never sell out to private equity
If you’ve ever wondered what it takes to make it in a high-stakes, high-trust business—or how to keep your values intact while building an empire—this one’s for you.
