Lisa Jackson is no stranger to building brands. In 1996, she launched Lisa Jackson Ltd., an interior design firm, where her sense of style and her clean and minimalist aesthetic attracted clients such as Renee Zellweger, Tory Burch, Vera Wang and Michael J. Fox .

Prices will run between $1,200 to $100,000 (the higher price points feature diamonds and organic pearls).  Read more here...
