Starting out as college roommates, Jessica Bohrer and Rebecca Richards are now “lawyers by day and jewelry designers by night.” Recently, they’ve launched a modern line of jewelry that aims to also embrace the past. The inspiration for their jewelry line dalla nonna, originated from the vintage pieces that were handed down to them from their mothers and grandmothers. Their jewelry line dalla nonna, derives its name from the Italian phrase “from the grandmother.” As they both fell in love with the idea of “taking something old and making it new again,” they’ve artistically created their signature line of calendar pendants and charms.

These signature pieces from dalla nonna, are made into both faux suede bracelets and elegant chain necklaces that are interlaced through priceless calendar pendants. Starting with the elaborate choices of rose gold, silver, yellow gold, and white gold; these pendants are then personalized to each individual as an exact month and day can be chosen to be engraved on the polished surface of their pendant. Accented with a beautiful sapphire to mark the day that is chosen, the color of the sapphire can also be also be personally selected for the wearer of the jewelry piece.

This line of jewelry is an ingenious approach that exemplifies and unifies dalla nonna’s devotion to tradition and trend. Derived from an old tie pin of Jess’ grandpa Howard, this signature jewelry line is chic, custom, and vintage-inspired. Not only can the pendant, sapphire, bracelet, and necklace be all personalized to any individual, you can use it to commemorate any “special” day. So no matter the occasion, whether it’s a birthday, graduation, engagement, or wedding, a piece from this vintage inspired jewelry line would be a great gift for any girl or woman that is celebrating a momentous occasion.

In addition to the standard collection, dalla nonna has expanded its line to include a special pink calendar bracelet in support of breast cancer research and awareness. Ten percent of their proceeds on sales of pink calendar bracelets will be donated to the Susan G. Komen for the Cure organization (http://ww5.komen.org/default.aspx). So join dalla nonna in their fight against breast cancer and find that perfect gift for that special person.
