Influencing the world with her work, Olivia Molina Avellaneda, a model is setting an example straight of never giving up in life
This dynamic model & astute entrepreneur have had many life experiences that she overcame all alone, which gave her a sense of belief & confidence in herself.
Sometimes all you need in life is courage & grit to overcome the many struggles you go through the course of life. That’s the only option left with people sometimes, but what’s more important to note here is that it is only essential to live life with that courage because the path that everybody walks in life is not always going to be filled with roses, but also with thorns. Olivia Molina is one such woman who had challenges laid in front of her at different timelines of her life, but she always faced them with her ‘never give up’ attitude & here she is today as one of those rare multi-talented people in the world who can do anything & ace the game like a pro.
Born on June 16, 1989, in Recoleta, Buenos Aires, Argentina, Molina’s life was filled with struggles since childhood. She lost her baby brother at the age of 5 & a week later also lost her aunt, leaving her one year old daughter with Molina’s parents. So, Molina had one brother & a sister. She learnt from several schools during her childhood as her family moved from one place to other every two years. However, Molina had a political family background both from her paternal & maternal side. Her grandfather – Mr José Domingo Molina Gómez & her great great grandfather Mr Nicolás Remigio Aurelio Avellaneda Silva from her father’s side both served the country of Argentina by being its President. Her great grandfather, Mr Pedro Rivas from her mother’s side, was also a Senator & owned 5k hectares of land in Argentina.
As a child, she was great at sports & participated in many extracurricular activities as well. She played sports like grass hockey, tennis, basketball, volleyball, artistic gymnastics, artistic skating, drawing & painting, playing the flute & also playing chess. Being the president of the chess club, she even travelled extensively around the country for tournaments. Molina turned into an author at just 9 years. She wrote a book about her life & at the age of 17, she wrote another book about eating disorders in teenagers.
When she was all of 15, she decided to become a model & to study for the same she went to Ricardo Pineiro agency and school. By the time Molina turned 18, she even studied about being a fashion stylist & makeup artist. That was the time she became an actress as well where she played the role of Felícitas Olga, a co-protagonist in the popular soap opera called ‘Patito Feo’. This show was played by Disney channel & after its unbeaten run of two seasons; they also came up with a movie in 2010. By 2009/2010, she also started her stint in theater & did plays at “Avenida Corrientes”. She played a protagonist in a play called “passion”.
Understanding that acting was not her true calling, she went ahead to study a long term course on cocktail mixing & then shifted to Mexico & worked there as a bartender. Even after returning, she continued her job as a bartender in the clubs of Argentina. Later Molina got married but also faced a lot of financial problems, so Molina set up a makeup supplies company. This business of hers made her earn 10.000$ USD in 2 weeks. She also tried her hand with “body chain” accessories which created a rage in fashion.
Molina then started working for CR models, a modeling agency in Argentina, where she did fashion production work & also looked after the hair & makeup department. Working for this company made her do scouting work, which helped her create a vast database. After facing her husband death, Olivia decided to leave Argentina Knowing that Europe could offer her many more opportunities for her career, she moved to London, where she became an entrepreneur & started her company of image modeling, matchmaking & concierge. In just a year & a half, she made $1 million of net income. During her time in Europe, she travelled the world & went to countries like China, Singapore, Arabia and all of America including North, South & Central.
This increased her quest for becoming a more prominent entrepreneur & so she launched a company in Dubai as well & resided in the UAE. Molina is a true blue genius with an IQ of 144 & a talented model & businesswoman who has today become a great inspiring story for others to know. She fluently speaks Spanish and English and understands perfectly Portuguese, Italian and French
Last year in 2019, she shifted her base to NYC & then to LA. She decided to become an entrepreneur even there & so she opened up her small food businesses in California & also applied for an investor’s Visa – E2 Visa.

Kristien Surya Jewelry: A New Standard in Affordable Luxury Jewelry
Byline: Sarah Kingston-Powell
Kristien Surya Jewelry combines cultural heritage with contemporary design from its Newport Beach headquarters. Launched in November 2023, the brand draws from Western, Indian, Chinese, and Islamic design elements. The signature pieces include the Hamsa hands collection with natural gemstones and the organically shaped Sunyata series, both crafted in sterling silver, solid 14K, and 18K gold.
“Each piece tells a story of cultural connection through carefully selected materials and meaningful symbolism,” says founder Kristien, who bootstrapped the company as its sole angel investor.
Social Impact Through Accessible Pricing
Despite its recent launch, the brand experienced significant early success, reflecting strong consumer interest. With global shipping and plans to expand its reach, Kristien Surya Jewelry is poised to attract an international audience that values culturally meaningful and socially responsible luxury.
While fine jewelry typically commands premium prices, Kristien Surya offers installment payment options and competitive pricing without compromising materials or craftsmanship.
A portion of sales supports the National Pediatric Cancer Association’s Sunshine Project, which develops non-toxic cancer treatments for children. Proceeds also help fund education and fair wage initiatives for women and children facing economic hardships.
Sustainability and Customization Focus
The brand’s ECO-LOVE Program incorporates lab-grown gems alongside natural stones, addressing growing consumer interest in sustainable luxury goods. Market research from McKinsey indicates that 73% of millennials are willing to spend more on sustainable brands.
“We select natural gemstones and crystals not just for aesthetics, but for their unique properties that promote emotional and spiritual well-being,” Sun explains. Customers can personalize their amulets by choosing specific gemstones, creating individual meaning for each piece.
Market Strategy and Growth
Currently serving North America through its e-commerce platform, Kristien Surya plans to expand to additional online marketplaces. “Our goal is more than about selling jewelry—we’re building a brand that celebrates diverse cultural heritage while making fine jewelry accessible to more people,” says Kristien. The company maintains a strong social media presence on Instagram and Facebook to engage with customers and showcase its cultural influences.
Kristien Surya Jewelry sets itself apart with its focus on cultural inspiration, sustainability, and social impact. Leveraging digital platforms like Instagram and Facebook, the brand aims to foster a vibrant online community. Special promotions, such as Blind Box Gifts for early followers, enhance its engagement strategy.
Design Philosophy and Production
Each collection draws inspiration from specific cultural elements: Western philosophical traditions, Indian spirituality, Chinese harmony concepts, and Islamic artistic patterns. The manufacturing process combines traditional craftsmanship with modern production techniques to maintain quality while achieving competitive pricing.
The Hamsa hands collection features double gemstone settings—an innovation within its price category. Production standards match luxury specifications: all pieces undergo multiple quality control checks and come with authentication certificates.
Future Developments
Kristien Surya plans to introduce new collections quarterly while maintaining its core design philosophy. The company’s near-term objectives include expanding its online presence and developing additional customization options for customers.
The brand recently began developing partnerships with retail locations in major U.S. cities, though specific details remain private. Current data suggests strong market potential for culturally-inspired fine jewelry at accessible price points, particularly among millennial and Gen Z consumers who prioritize meaning and value in their purchases.
