A celebrity is a widely-recognized or famous person who commands a high degree of public and media attention. The word stems from the Latin adjective celeber meaning famous or celebrated. While fame is generally considered a necessary precondition for celebrity status, it is not always sufficient. There has to be a level of public interest in the person, which may or may not be connected to the reason they are famous. Many celebrities are only so for a certain amount of time, perhaps after appearing on a television program or doing something to cast them into the public eye, such as rowing the Atlantic Ocean or being the first to do something. There are also specialist celebrities, who are only celebrities to those who enjoy a particular subject and so consider them a celebrity.

A public figure such as a politician or CEO may be famous, but they may not become a celebrity unless public and mass media interest is piqued. For example Virgin Director Richard Branson was famous as a CEO, but he did not become a global celebrity until he attempted to circumnavigate the globe in a hot air balloon. On the other hand, mass entertainment personalities such as soap opera actors or music stars are likely to become celebrities even if the person deliberately avoids media attention.

A famous definition of celebrity comes from the cultural theorist Daniel Boorstin. In his book,The Image: A Guide to Pseudo-Events in America, he cynically describes celebrities as people well known for their "well-knowness".

A small number of celebrities can be considered 'global', in that their fame has spread across the English-speaking world and even into non-English-speaking cultures. These celebrities are often prominent political figures, Hollywood actors, globally successful pop musicians and sports stars. A few examples of internationally-known celebrities include South African politician Nelson Mandela, Hollywood actors Tom Cruise,Tom Hanks and Will Smith, Hollywood actresses such as Sarah Michelle Gellar,Jennifer Lopez, Lindsay Lohan, Halle Berry, Julia Roberts and Jennifer Aniston, pop singers Robbie Williams, Cher, Britney Spears, Mariah Carey, Michael Jackson, Paris Hilton and Madonna, and sports stars David Beckham and Tiger Woods.

The rise of international celebrities in acting and popular music is due in large part to the massive scope and scale of the US media industries, which has enabled US media firms to dominate the English-speaking film, television, and popular music markets. The reach of US entertainment products is further extended by large-scale illegal copying of Hollywood movies and US popular music, which makes inexpensive pirated versions of US DVDs and CDs available throughout South America and Asia.

Partner designers, Kerry Feiman and Rachel Hanson had been making jewelry for themselves and friends for several years. It was their discovery of Milagros and their friendship that inspired them to turn their passion for jewelry into a career. Kerry comes from a craftsman background and has incorporated these architectural influences into her designs, invoking feelings of home and comfort in her work. Rachel comes from a long line of artisans and art teachers. It was her mother's collection of Milagros, passed on to Rachel, which began her intrigue and desire to incorporate these powerful symbols into her work.

Kerry enjoys creating a classic look in her pieces, jewelry that has no age boundaries. Inspiration comes form the stones themselves, their color or often the way they feel against your skin. The Milagros set the tone for the piece, they always inspire its name and often help to guide color selection and weight. "I like jewelry that can be worn with a t-shirt by day and look just as stunning with a simple dress in the evening."

Rachel finds inspiration for her jewelry designs in the world and in the Milagros. The sea, the night and Kerry's dog, have all been starting points for unique pieces of jewelry. Rachel looks to put a twist on the ordinary to create jewelry pieces that speak to the wearer. The Milagro can be a private wish or desire of the wearer, or a public statement. Whatever the purpose, Rachel hopes that those who choose Milagro jewelry find joy and whimsy in their individual work of art.
