Multi 'ZAD Beaded Gold Chain Earrings

'ZAD

In 1986, a husband and wife team, Ralph and Kebi Brown, moved to Santa Barbara after some years spent doing volunteer work for a charitable organization in Meherazad, a tiny town in India. Fresh from this experience, they named their new enterprise `ZAD (pronounced zod) and began selling the jewelry they had admired while living overseas. Starting out as a two-person team from a home base of their garage, Kebi and Ralph added employees, warehouse space, and business knowledge as they went along. After twenty-one years in business, Kebi and Ralph now work alongside thirty employees in their large Santa Barbara warehouse, having built a successful company that feels more like an extended family.
