My dream to grow Quila Jewelers to household name – CEO Michael Olorunsogo Oni

As businesses are recovering from the devastation of the global economy by the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020, Michael Olorunsogo Oni, the CEO of Quila Jewelers, the wave-making American high-end jewellery store, avowed that the precious stone business escaped 2020 almost unscathed.

His words: “Even when people were in lockdown, they were still buying luxurious pieces of jewellery, because at that point precious stones and luxury accessories were better investments than having money in the bank.”

Lagos-born Michael Olorunsogo Oni, a native of Erin Oke in Osun State, studied Political Science as his first degree and also topped it off by becoming a certified project manager, but decidedly chose a jewellery career path when he attended the prestigious Gemology Institute of America, GIA, to become a trained gemologist.

Acquiring expertise in the science and craft of gemstone, opened a new path for him in joining the jewellery trade.

Jewelers, the business he founded, was barely three years old when the Covid-19 pandemic sent the world into a lockdown.

One year after the lockdown, Quila Jewelers have continued to grow in leaps and bounds.

Michael Olorunsogo Oni, who is married and is now a permanent resident in the United States of America, disclosed that his focus for 2021 is to continue to grow the Quila Jewelers brand to become a household name around the world.

“The market for luxury jewellery and accessories is a very large one. I want to capture a share of that market here in the United States and back home in Nigeria,” he said.

Speaking further, he affirmed: To achieve that objective, we have expanded our service to every part of the world.

We deliver orders anywhere across the globe. Furthermore, aside from selling high-end designer luxury watches, pendants and other accessories, we have also tapped into the custom-made section of the market.”
