46 || CELEBRITY MAGAZINE || MAY-JUNE 2017It is hard to look at Ms. Richman%u2019s life and not see the influence of her parents. Doriana and her husband Roger are co-owners of LA Motorsports which provides premier stunt drivers and coordinators to the advertising and entertainment industries. As a stunt driver herself it seems she may have a bit of a rough and tumble sort of career. She absolutely loves her work and she especially enjoys the talent and camaraderie of her co-workers at LA MotorSports. I am sure her dad enjoys and is proud of her work, and may even take some credit for her passion for driving.Ms. Richman is a slim beautiful woman and by appearance does not have a rough and tumble feel about her. It is much easier to envision her at her new company, Stone Symbol, a line of elegant jewelry. She has discovered a passion and satisfaction in her new company, which causes her to reflect with clarity that she has found her place. Stone Symbol is a fit for her from a business and spiritual perspective. Stone Symbol germinated when Doriana visited the ancient Greek City of Ephesus in Turkey. A special tour guide, Figen, changed Ms. Richman%u2019s life by telling her the history of Ephesus. As Figen pointed out an ancient symbol along their route, Doriana says she felt like she was struck by lightning. She felt an immediate connection between the symbol and its meaning. It was as if this symbol, a six pointed star within a circle, represented the same basis which her own heart operated upon. Historically this ancient symbol acted as bread crumb for followers of early Christianity. It was a symbol to the early Christians that there were fellow believers among them. It became a symbol of unity over 2000 years ago, and to Ms. Richman it has the same meaning today. Doriana was so transfixed by the symbol and its meaning, it created a friendship between her and Figen that continues today. Figen changed Doriana%u2019s life.Doriana re-creates the symbol in her jewelry line. Her intent is to reproduce the symbol with authenticity; it bears the burnished look of time in a multiple colors of gold and in sterling silver. She wants someone to be able to wear a color that compliments his/her skin tone.The motto on her website, www.stonesymbol.comis: %u201cUnifying Our Collective Hearts%u201d.
