Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia. The content of this submission includes material that does not meet Wikipedia's minimum standard for inline citations.

Comment: One reference to the subject's own company website and a handful of citations relating to a jewelry exhibition are insufficient for a Wikipedia biography of a living person. Notability is not established without references to significant coverage in reliable, independent, secondary sources with a reputation for accuracy and fact-checking. And the literary career section is blank. Paul W (talk) 11:13, 21 February 2024 (UTC)
