Shop Nola Bella - Tip of the day!

Recently, there's been a lot of talk lately about statement jewelry. It was all over the runways. The girls on Lipstick Jungle seem to swear by it. And even Stylelist has featured a bold gallery or two. Sure you can go big but even a subtle piece can pack a statement making punch. Case in point, Nola Bella.

Started as a hobby by designer Jill Scharmen, Nola Bella's eclectic jewelry quickly began catching on to customers. After seeing a positive response to specific pieces, Jill began really focusing in on that vintage feel that her jewelry evokes. The self-proclaimed "70s child" began infusing her vintage inspired pieces with earthy materials like shell, coral, and mother of pearl to make pieces that couldn't be any line but Nola Bella.

Now back to that bit about and how Nola Bella is the perfect place to get your statement piece of jewelry for the season. The brand's best selling amoeba collection is a very simple, and organic in shape, yes. Yet its unique flavor will bring a plain black tee to a whole new level. Or you can really go for it and check out some of the designer's more daring pieces like the Tangled Tusk Earring in Green Onyx or her Grandma's Pearls Necklace (which is anything but your grandma's!). Whichever piece you choose, it'll certainly find its way into nearly every outfit you create and will have everyone talking in this season full of statement making jewelry.

Jill is an amazing designer whose passion for style shows in her work! I own several pieces of her jewelry line and they are very special pieces - always get lots of compliments when I wear them.

I have 14 Nolabella pieces, including a few vintage pieces! They are my favorite go-to accessories, and I always get compliments. They are classy but a little funky too. LOVE!

I discovered Nolabella and quickly picked up the line for my gallery. The pieces are very striking & they fly off our shelves. I agree with the other comments regarding compliments - people always stop me and ask about the pieces and our customers can't get enough. Jill is incredibly easy to work with - besides being a talented artist, she is a great businesswoman. I'm excited to work with her & to carry her beautiful line.
