CheekyChicago

What’s more precious than time? Many women may argue it’s their jewelry. Jessica Herrin, the founder of jewelry company Stella & Dot, may argue that it’s both.   Propelled by the desire to always look and feel her best, motivated by her need to spend more time with her family, and inspired by the female entrepreneurial spirit (how cheeky), Herrin found the perfect combination of must-have jewelry (at affordable prices), coupled with the personal and customized service found in the luxury jewelry industry and brought it all together at….parties? No wonder we at Cheeky are freaking out about it.

Stella & Dot is the newest wave of “social selling,” where women just like you and I can host cocktail parties/shindigs/wine-tastings/what-have-you for and with their girlfriends looking to find fabulous deals and unique finds, plus amazing personal styling advice, all in the comfort of their own home.  This unique approach allows busy women to either earn some extra dough, or even build a whole career as a Stella & Dot stylist.

But what we love most about it is simply the jewelry. Herrin partnered up with Blythe Harris (a Parsons School graduate who’s designed for Banana Republic and DeBeers) and celebrity designer Maya Brenner, who have put together a collection of pieces that range from modern to vintage-y, delicate chains to chunky beads, signature charms, with collections inspired by select parts of the world, such as “St. Tropez,” “Passage to India,” “Salyulita Mexico,” and much more.  The entire line is uber-feminine, versatile, and has a funky, one-of-a-kind feel matched with great affordability.

Stella & Dot will be hosting a handful of swank jewelry events this month throughout Chicago, so stay tuned to Cheeky to find where and when you’ll need to travel. Their motto is – after-all – “Passport to Style.”
