Belle Gifts

In our pre-holiday gifting state, we’re going to continue to profile potential gift items. They’ll be suitable for the holiday, birthdays, anniversarys, just for the hell of it, whatever you might need.

Here’s La Bijou Belle’s backstory: Ever since she was a little girl in Cleveland, Ohio and began putting together scrapbooks with designs by fashion greats Coco Chanel, Christian Lacroix, and Yves Saint Laurent Jeannine Denholm has been inspired to create. But since she couldn't sew and mom and dad would have been horrified if she moved to Paris or New York to pursue fashion, she went into television instead.

Fast forward several years to Los Angeles, her new hometown, where many television jobs and an Emmy later Jeannine began to get bored. She quickly turned to a new passion which was transforming old grandmother vintage jewelry into something you could wear today. And that's how La Bijou Belle, The Beautiful Jewel, was born.

Jeannine's style is constantly evolving and so is La Bijou Belle. Not only does the line include classic bridal designs, it also has funky 1950's Lucite bracelets with beautiful vintage clasps, wonderful one of a kind pendant necklaces and earrings made from vintage flea market findings. Each piece is unique just like the girl who wears them.
