LOS ANGELES — Christin Marie Studio, often cited as the top-performing jewelry brand on TikTok Shop, made its brick-and-mortar debut this month with a luxury pop-up at The Grove mall in Los Angeles. The “Dreamscape” installation is the first physical retail venture for the brand, which founder Christin Marie Nichols launched as a one-woman operation in 2023.
The pop-up is designed to translate the brand’s signature ethereal aesthetic into a tangible environment. The company describes the space as reimagining modern retail through a creator-led lens, using architectural elements such as sculptural clouds to give the brand identity a physical dimension that digital platforms cannot replicate.
Nichols’ trajectory offers a blueprint for an evolving trade. Her monthly sales grew from $4,000 at launch to nearly $5 million this year, built largely on her “FaceTime Friday” livestream sessions — informal, conversational broadcasts she has described as feeling like a FaceTime call between friends, covering jewelry and beyond. She uses that audience feedback directly in her designs.

The pop-up features the “Daydream Collection,” which incorporates lab-grown diamonds and custom-colored stones.
“Growing from a single handmade necklace … to now a storefront at The Grove is a big deal,” Nichols told KTLA. She added that she hopes the move inspires other women to trust that a creative spark can serve as a viable blueprint for a multimillion-dollar business.
