Meet Elise from || Novella-Ria ||

This beautiful gypsy wanderer creates each one of her pieces with love & a meaning.

We sat down with Elise to get to know more about her collection.

Here is a little about the collection:

‘Leatherette Warrior’ is the latest Novella-Ria collection inspired by mother Earth’s elements and created for a tribe of unique warriors.

The range is sculpturally created with .925 silver and gold plated components and ornamented with stones of clear crystal, matte black, worn gold, silver and light opaque hues.

Each jewel embraces the personality of a powerful gypsy warrior, whose purpose is to ignite the soul spirit, balance the chakras of the wearer and inspire the warrior within.

Her power is embedded in the smell of the earth. She is bound by no obligations and barred by no human limitations. The spirit in her salutes the spirit in you- Zelda

She is truth. The sea and the stardust speak to her, kindred spirits calling her home. Nothing is greater than her- Grace

1. What made you want to start your business?

I have always been creative from a young age and grew passionate about business after working in London.

My dream was to combine these ideas together to live a creative life. I found my passion in jewellery design after working in Fashion Design for many years and living abroad in London.

2. What is the hardest part about running your own business?

Being a one man band (running a business), working full time and trying to have some sort of social life can be a little difficult, but I find the key to not getting overwhelmed is to break each task down into smaller tasks throughout the week and make sure you make time for fun,

friends and family.

3. Who was your first style icon?

Stevie Nicks

4. When you can't think of anything to wear, what's your go-to outfit?

Black and Black and a Black leather jacket

5. What is your favorite Little Market Place stall?

I hope to have some time at the next LMP discover a few favourites

6. What should shoppers expect from your stall?

I create products from a place of love, from a core of creativity and calming nature (a centre). I work with natural, meaningful and healing stones and materials from our mother earth.

I give each design its own meaning to sit alongside its natural healing property and this is then passed onto the wearer.

I create to inspire others.

I create my stories through jewels.
