Rachel Lynn Chicago was founded in 2008 by designer Rachel Leykind in Chicago, Illinois. For a decade, the brand specialized in in-house jewelry design and wholesale partnerships, with pieces carried by over 40 luxury boutiques nationwide. With a loyal following in Aspen, Rachel opened her first jewelry boutique in the heart of Aspen in 2019, offering a curated collection of fine jewelry, custom designs, and luxury accessories.
With a discerning eye for fashion and timeless design, Rachel Leykind curates her collections with heart and expertise, guided by the tastes of the Women of Aspen and the sophisticated, well-traveled jewelry collector. At her Aspen boutique, visitors are welcomed into a intimate shopping experience where every piece—from natural diamond fine jewelry to one-of-a-kind charm necklaces—is thoughtfully designed. Guests leave not only with exceptional jewelry but also with a lust for collecting more, inspired by the artistry, craftsmanship, and unique beauty of each selection.
Rachel Lynn Chicago Aspen offers a home-like shopping experience in the heart of Aspen directly across the street from the historic Jerome Hotel. The boutique is managed locally by longtime team members who relocated from Chicago, ensuring the brand’s expertise and attention to detail are present in every visit. Sisters Richela Alger ( right ), Brand Director, and Anna Alger ( left ), Sales Director, provide a relaxed, tailored shopping experience for both returning clients who make visiting a tradition and newcomers discovering Aspen for the first time.
With their family-like team, Rachel, Richela, and Anna aim to provide Aspen locals and visitors alike with exactly what they’re looking for—whether exploring jewelry in our Aspen boutique or shopping online via our website.
In 2020, Rachel launched a second jewelry brand with longtime friend Corri McFadden, combining Rachel’s 25 years of fine jewelry expertise with Corri’s colorful, maximalist approach. The sister brand, Rachel Lynn X Corri Lynn, operates independently from Rachel Lynn Chicago, offering clients a fresh, interactive way to shop. Through Instagram Live (@corrimcfadden) and online sales, Corri brings a fast-paced, community-driven shopping experience, featuring the latest fashion-forward, U.S.-made fine and beaded jewelry—blending home shopping with a touch of reality entertainment.
In 2014, Rachel received a U.S. patent for her iconic beaded jewelry design, “The Seven Wrap.” This versatile piece wraps around the wrist seven times and can also be worn as a necklace or anklet, all without a clasp. Exclusively available in our Aspen boutique, on our website, with our sister brand Rachel Lynn X Corri Lynn, and at authorized luxury boutiques nationwide, the Seven Wrap has become a cult favorite among jewelry collectors.
Today, Rachel continues to live and design in Chicago, Illinois, managing two distinct jewelry brands from her private office. Passionate about creating for jewelry lovers, she strives to offer shoppers exactly what they’re looking for across multiple channels. Our Aspen boutique provides a traditional, one-on-one brick-and-mortar experience, while our websites allow for a seamless at-home shopping experience. For a fast-paced, community-driven shopping experience, explore our sister brand on Instagram: @rachellynnxcorrilynn, featuring live, auction-style shopping. Whatever your preference, Rachel hopes every visitor feels the love and care behind each experience.
In Rachel's free time, she enjoys spending time with her family. She enjoys bike rides with her daughter Blake, cooking for her family, ski trips to Aspen where her husband Gene loves to explore, and spending time with their Bull Terrier dog, Sugar. The love for her family is one of the driving forces behind her ability to run two jewelry companies and ultimately is her greatest joy. We hope you find the love behind our designs as she does creating them for you.
