VELINA, a Southern jewelry line, creates high quality, fashion-forward, handcrafted designs for self-expression and style. Sisters Tina and Erica Jackson --- Tina is a young graphic designer; Erica, a young journalist. Together, with contagious spirits and strong sense of style, Tina and Erica knew they needed to find an outlet where their passion for design and enduring ambition could collide. This collision is what spearheaded the creation of VELINA.

The name VELINA was chosen because it was their Italian mother's nickname as a young girl. Tina & Erica believed this name was a perfect fit for their line, as it represents something special: both their family and where they come from.

Through each original piece, VELINA hopes to bring stylish designs -- created with precious and semi-precious stones and charms from all over the world -- celebrating the beauty behind diversity and the confidence found in self-expression.

You will want to keep up with this dynamic sister duet as they have just launched a men's line and are about to launch their new spring/summer 2012 collection as well.
