About Loella Medina Jewelry

A construction site in New York City led to Loella's love for jewelry design. It was in the late 80s when her father, an immigrant from the Dominican Republic, found an abandoned toolbox in a construction site in NYC. The box was full of pliers and beads which sparked an idea on her father's head that would help provide for his family back in DR. His bold designs with chandelier drops and large geometric clip-on earrings, soon became all the rage in her mother's beauty salon. Loella soon noticed the ladies who got their hair done with her mother would swoon over the jewels and exclaimed triumphantly how sophisticated they felt wearing them. These moments stayed with Loella as she moved with her family to New York from the Caribbean island. Years later, Loella was inspired to create a line of jewelry of her own. Loella Medina offers carefully crafted pieces of jewelry to help women express their style. We take pride in designing all components, using hand-picked semi precious stones and metals, to create high quality, timeless jewelry that's artisanally-made, not mass produced. Read their story
