Flipping Β£600 to Β£2 million by selling jewellery

Sonya chats to the Sheffield couple behind the jewellery brand PRYA.

Arwa Hassan and Royale Johnson from Sheffield are the power couple behind the multimillion-pound jewellery business PRYA. When Royale found choosing a piece of jewellery for Arwa difficult, he came up with the idea of making their own! They clubbed together Β£600 between them to get started and create their very first range of pieces in 2019. From there, the company has grown and has turned over Β£2 million!

They discuss everything from quitting their day jobs to managing a business and a relationship.

Sonya also hears from Bhav Patel. His 60-Second Career is all about his social business, Storyteller, which sells personalised accessories. Bhav was inspired to set up his business whilst travelling in India and Peru back in 2017. It was on his travels that he noticed that lack of support and education for young people, and he decided he wanted to make a difference. So he created Storyteller, which gives some of its sales to charity to help young people get access to education across the world.
