How do you like your jewelry?

“Urban/contemporary and edgy, with a vintage twist.”

That’s how Chicago-based designer Carole Richey describes her fabulous pieces.

Bead work has been Carole’s signature design for more than 25 years, but she has now added the hottest accessory of the year: Luscious leather.

Carole creates one-of-a-kind cuffs and necklaces — many designed with re-purposed vintage brooches, shoe clips and buttons — and accents them with her distinctive hand-embellished bead work.

Stella is thrilled to be hosting a Trunk Show of Carole’s jewelry from October 30 through November 6. The designer will be on hand at our Evanston store on opening day, Saturday, October 30, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

“Carole has designed a special collection to be featured at our trunk show,” said Stella owner Rachel Hershinow. “Stop in and meet Carole on Saturday and select from one of her many one-of-a-kind pieces that will certainly become your favorite go-to accessory.”
