As you know, at The Shop, we've expanded the range of items available to include a rather exquisite selection of jewellery. And so, to highlight all the new lines we carry, we've introduced this series to showcase the talented créateurs we work with. This week, we're featuring the rock 'n refined work of LA-based Natalie McMillan Jewelry.
Natalie McMillan is an independent fine jewelry line designed and crafted in Los Angeles, California. Since the summer of 2016, Natalie McMillan has been creating pieces for women to wear, love, and feel comfortable, more importantly, themselves in. Each piece is completely handcrafted from start to finish, which means nothing is made with, or designed on, a computer. Within the line, you will not find perfect symmetry, laser cuts, or exact shapes and edges. What you will find is authenticity, simplicity, beauty in imperfection, and a piece of jewelry that feels like it belongs to you and you alone. Natalie is dedicated to creating pieces that transcend all personal styles and tastes, offering quality fine jewelry for truly everyone.

A note from the designer
Jewelry has always been a huge part of my life. When I was young, I went to a school (well, it was more of a cult, but that’s a story for another day), where I wasn’t allowed to wear jewelry. Every summer for five years, I would get my ears pierced just so I could have a little sparkle for a few months before school started again and I’d have to take them out. I tried everything to get around the no jewelry rule, trust me. And now, working in this business, I still find myself trying to get around rules, such as: “don’t mix metals”, “don’t wear too much jewelry―it’s distracting”, “less is more”, or my personal favorite, “it isn’t classy to have more than one earring in each ear”. I say screw the rules. Well, if I’m being totally honest, I’d say a different word (I swear like an absolute sailor, but I’m trying to keep it at least a little professional here). I truly believe that if you’re wearing my jewelry, you should wear it however you like. Break the rules and do what makes you feel like the most authentic version of you.
