About Me ...
Inspired by the sugar sand, cobalt blue skies and lush landscaping of their home in the Virgin Islands, Jules Smith creates luxe resort jewelry. The collections tell the story of a fashion forward soul bridging the gap between metropolitan trends and the laid-back, organic vibe of the Caribbean. Drawing from a myriad of life experiences, Gina Nigrelli’s appreciation for adventure and natural beauty began while studying abroad in Harare, Zimbabwe. She began her fashion career at Diesel in Las Vegas where she was a manager and merchandiser. It was the exposure to the strong brand identity and cutting edge fashion philosophy of Diesel that motivated her to take the next step in her career. Always willing to take a leap of faith, Gina moved to Chicago to pursue a degree in fashion design. While in school, Gina held the post of Director of Marketing and Events for a national online shopping destination. In 2006, Gina and her husband relocated to the Virgin Islands. It was in this exotic environment that Gina was finally able to pursue her lifelong dream of designing her own collection. Jules Smith was established later that year.

Her designs are feminine and functional with each piece rooted to her life in the islands. The azure waters and Caribbean culture offer a compelling setting for unburdened creativity, while her frequent travels to New York City keep her on the beat and pulse of the industry. Gina maintains a genuine and realistic approach to fashion, using only precious metals in her collections. Her goal is to create pieces that express her adoration for the natural beauty that surrounds her while representing her personal style and her love for everything fashionable.

are we crazy??

You would think we have our shiz together by now…great accounts, international press, celebrity clients...these guys got it going on…nope!! I’m sure we aren’t that far off in terms of startups, but sometimes this entrepreneurial mind game gets to be a bit much. Are we crazy to do this??…. What is sweat equity really worth??? And are you supposed to literally sweat???

Hi Jules - thanks for the note! I am located in Boulder, as well.
The site is under construction currently - we should go live this week - hoping for Earth Day. Fingers crossed!
Anyway, I'll let you know when it's up and running!

Nice stuff & Nice site! Wow!

Stay in touch and let me know if you know of anyone who might be able to use my services!
I appreciate it!

Watch my reflection in the mirror
and watch a rag doll,
not laughing, not crying, just wait.

Watch my face for water
and see a face wrist.
With a false smile,
that can fool anyone.

Look inside my body, and
not find a soul.
I was empty.
Inside because I have nothing.

Hear what you say the heart and
only hear claims
groans and cries inside
claiming to be deceived.

Take my arm gently,
watch slides.
I was fragile because you
me has gone bankrupt.

Levántame soil, man.
You see as slow down.
Well, I did your fall
and coldly me has left.

At me!
Watch as me has left.
Has left me in solitude.
As your ugly rag doll.

At me!
Watch as me has left.
I am what you did for me .....
A simple rag doll.

Now there's a life to envy... Mine's Dublin, Ireland all year round. Nowhere near as glamorous. :)

Glad you like the site - do bear us in mind if you ever fancy creating a collection with all the costs covered!

Helen.

Give my love to the Caribbean - I miss it daily!
Helen.
