Thank you so very much for visiting nilaja by cheryl brooks! Please take a look around and enjoy accessories that have been mostly inspired by childhood more than anything. I have always loved denim. I could wear it everyday. I have also had a love affair with beautiful, natural stones, especially those that shimmer. Lastly, growing up as a member of the baby hip-hoppers is the reason for, “The Bling Collection.” This collection is hip, funky, stylish, embellished and eco-friendly. Every piece was designed using recycled denim.
Next, there’s jewelry. Sticking with being eco-friendly, I decided to create pieces using natural stones, beads, and wood. I also tried to use stretchy elastic as much as possible to accomodate the many beautiful sizes of our bodies. In addition, wouldn’t it be nice to put on piece of jewelry without always having to find someone to fasten a clasp?
My greeting cards were the first product to inspire me to keep going with the vision of nilaja. Most of my cards have been ultra-feminine and quite embellished too.
Travel with nilaja as the journey unfolds. You may be purchasing a one-of-kind piece or some items will be limited edition. I hope that many of you will tell me what you would love to see more of.
Bringing joy,
Cheryl Brooks
Chief Creative Officer
