The beautiful, high-quality pieces were way out of her budget and the origins of the diamonds were often unclear. Laura began to look for an opportunity to fill the gap in the market – this suddenly became possible when she discovered the innovation of lab-grown diamonds and she has dedicated her brand to these cultured stones.  larkandberry.com

Nialaya

Nialaya Jewelry is an American designer jewellery company founded in 2009 by Danish designer Jannik Olander. The company is headquartered in Los Angeles, California. While visiting a coastal city in India, Olander met a local shaman named Nialaya who encouraged him to pursue his dreams and stop chasing monetary gain. Olander profoundly reflected upon this, and upon returning from his trip he developed a jewellery company deeply rooted in spirituality and the promotion of energy healing. He named the company Nialaya as a tribute to the man who provided him with life-changing insight. Olander began designing and creating beaded macrame necklaces and bracelets in the garage of his Hollywood Hills home. The slogan ‘Handmade in Hollywood’ was then developed, as each piece of jewellery was strung together by hand without the use of machinery or mass production. Each precious and semi-precious stone was used to stimulate spiritual healing powers; each finished item was then purified with a cleansing sage. The first Nialaya collection was sold to a renowned Beverly Hills boutique where it caught the eyes of famous faces. The company quickly gained notoriety with Hollywood celebrities and has grown to become one of the largest celebrity-endorsed brands. The popularity of the brand spread internationally and the demand for boho-luxe designer jewellery prompted the company to open up their online web store. In 2010, the company unveiled their first flagship store at their prominent Los Angeles retail address – 8215 Melrose Avenue.  nialaya.com
