10 Jewelry Brands Run by Total Boss Ladies

Gina Nigrelli-Smith started her own jewelry line after leaving the corporate fashion world to be with family and pursue a life of travel together. She wanted to have it all. With the support of her female friends, she created Jules Smith, an affordable, trend-driven jewelry line for the California girl at heart. In the beginning, Gina worked out of her basement and used the connections and relationships she made at every step in her career to foster her business. She is an example of how good things come from girl-on-girl support. So in honor of female empowerment, I've added these shiny Geometric Double Drop Earrings ($78) to my shopping cart (you should too).
