Bella Boutique

Bella Boutique was founded in July 2010 by Katerina Strange. At just 15 years old, she creates unique accessories using fibers, fabrics, and metals. When Russian-born Katia is not creating custom designs, she spends her time raising budgies, developing her talent as a classical pianist, and producing music videos for her online channel. By upcycling & repurposing everyday objects, Katia creates accessories that teens & adults will both enjoy. The snap tab earrings combine recycled soda tabs with colorful buttons, and the snap tab bracelet (pictured) are the perfect colorful accessory for groups of youngsters who want to show school spirit. Bella Boutique also features beaded bracelets, pearl earrings, and more.

Foxy Girl Boutique

Melissa Cochran is a self-taught metalsmith and self-proclaimed jewelry addict. Five years ago, she created one necklace and was hooked. Foxy Girl Boutique features many of her lovely jewelry designs. Her metalsmithing talents are displayed in designs such as the Being in the Pink earrings (pictured). The pair is made out of brass wire that has been hand-wrapped and hammered flat, then accented with pink glass briolettes and pink freshwater pearls. The Romance necklace goes perfectly with the beautiful earrings. If you're looking for an accessory that will go with just about everything, check out The Labyrinth copper necklace. And, for those who like a punch of color, you don't want to miss the Take Me Dancing or Blood Red necklaces.

Lapis Beach

Lauren Hoehn has been creating jewelry for two years, but only recently began selling her creations online. Lapis Beach showcases her one-of-a-kind creations that she strings & knits by hand. But she not only knits with yarn, as one might expect. Additionally, she knits beautiful pieces using wire and other elements. I love the fancy Golden Sunset bracelet that contains varying hues of cream and tan freshwater and glass pearls with Swarovski crystals sprinkled throughout. As a big fan of pink, the Pink Promise Thin Cuff also catches my eye. In addition to bracelets and cuffs, Lauren also creates unique rings and necklaces. The Fun Jade and Purple Ring is lovely, as is the GLAM Ocean Ring.

One really unique design is the Victorian Gothic Part II piece, a striking & mysterious necklace. The Autumn Leaves earrings are the perfect accessories for the fall season. And I'm always looking for unusual pieces to spice up my wardrobe and the Bronze Beauty Necklace definitely fits the bill. Links of various shapes and sizes combine to make this unique antique bronze chain that showcases a beautiful antique bronze pendant with a peridot-colored butterfly on flowers dotted with multicolored stones. A cluster of amber and cream freshwater pearls, ivory pearls and antique bronze glass heart are the finishing touch to this fanciful design.
