Ogi Ltd

With over three decades of experience in the jewelry industry, Osnat Gad is an expert in precious gemstones and bridal jewelry. Born into a male-dominated jewelry dynasty, Gad forged a path of her own when she launched Osnat Gad, Inc. over 26 years ago. She traveled throughout the world, searching for rare gems in exotic locales from Sri Lanka to Columbia, and quickly established herself as a prominent dealer in precious gems. In 1992, Gad expanded her business to include jewelry design and manufacturing under the OGI Ltd. brand. Today OGI Ltd. is renowned in the bridal industry and boasts over 250 clients, including Nordstrom, Neiman Marcus and Saks Fifth Avenue. As the founder and CEO of OGI Ltd, Gad continues to design exquisite, modern jewelry including wedding bands, engagement rings, earrings, necklaces and bracelets. Osnat Gad became a published author in November 2004, with her book Wedding Rings. Published by Stewart, Tabori & Chang, the book traces the history and romance of the wedding ring - the perfect symbol of eternal love - from ancient Egypt to today. The concept for Osnat Gad’s next venture was born when she searched for the perfect evening clutch to wear to a red-carpet event in the fall of 2004, and was sorely disappointed. As she explains, “I wanted a bag that would stand out next to an exquisite piece of jewelry.” Utilizing her expertise in the jewelry industry, Gad set out to create an evening bag suitable to wear with lavish jewelry. One year later the Ocie Minaudière collection was unveiled, flawlessly incorporating precious stones into a fashion staple, the evening bag. Based in New York, Gad continues to oversee the OGI Ltd. and Ocie brands.
