Sisters build businesses in
Buckhead, Sandy Springs
BY COLLIN KELLEY
The Davis sisters have built their
businesses bead-by-bead and strand-by-
strand.
A close twosome, Andrea Goldklang
is the owner of Belle de Jour Salon in
Sandy Springs, and Sabrina Davis is the
owner of both Brina Beads and Range
Boutique in Buckhead.
The Miami natives come from a fam
ily of entrepreneurs and business owners,
so running their own small businesses is
almost second nature.
“We like the idea of
not having to answer
to anyone else and be
ing our own bosses,”
Sabrina laughed.
Brina Beads is cel
ebrating 10 years in
business, having suc
cessfully weathered
the economic down
turn, while Belle de
Jour has been a hit
since it opened two
years ago.
“I actually start
ed working part-time with Sabrina at
the bead shop,” Andrea recalled. “Then I
was working in a salon, but I knew I al
ways wanted to open my own.”
Trust formed at an early age when
then 12-year-old Andrea cut 6-year-old
Sabrina’s hair into a Dorothy Hamill
bob. From that moment on, and sever
al years of formal training later in New
York and Paris, Sabrina was always ask
ing Andrea to make her look like the top
supermodel of the moment.
Sabrina said she decided to open Bri
na Beads after stints working sales in
Los Angeles, and finding herself coming
back and forth to Atlanta to visit her sis
ter. It was actually Andrea’s idea to open
a bead store.
“There was a big trend 10 years ago
of people making their own jewelry, and
you saw celebrities with all this great
beaded jewelry,” Sabrina said. “And peo
ple still love to make their own jewelry.”
In 2007 Sabrina added clothing to
the shop, calling the new retail portion
Range, offering pieces inspired by her
time in California, or “West Coast cool”
as she describes it. Sabrina said adding
the clothing section
to her shop helped
the store survive the
recession.
“Instead of pay
ing $40 or $50 for
jewelry, they could
come here and make
it for $8. The cloth
ing line actually
helped increase the
jewelry sales.”
Both sisters love
having business
es near each oth
er, and are regularly
amazed at the crossover of their estab
lishments. Andrea and Sabrina regu
larly refer their customers to each oth
er’s businesses.
The sisters are also huge supporters
of giving back, especially after Andrea’s
8-year-old son, Nolan, battled leukemia.
From local schools to CURE Childhood
Cancer, to Children’s Health Care of At
lanta, The Shepherd Center to Bert’s Big
Adventure are some of the organizations
the duo has supported over the years.
And even all these years later, Sabri
na still loves getting styled by her older
sis. And Andrea can be found now and
again teaching a beading class or two at
Brina Beads.
“Instead of paying $40 or
$50 for jewelry, they could
come here and make it
for $8. The clothing line
actually helped increase
the jewelry sales.”
