Born in Shreveport, Louisiana, Stacy Nolan Kottle is a southern girl at heart. She spent time abroad in London, Madrid, Hong Kong, and Costa Rica before relocating to Los Angeles several years ago, but her southern roots remain firmly planted in her style. Wistful, romantic, and charming, Stacy’s designs capture what it means to be modern and elegant.

After graduating with a business degree from Tulane University in New Orleans, Stacy worked in various aspects of the jewelry industry including production management, retail, and wholesale. Her work with an international gemstone manufacturer helped her realize her true passion for the elegance and beauty of gems and she entered the Gemological Institute of America (GIA) where she studied design and earned her title of Graduate Gemologist. Stacy also trained in silversmithing at the Sir John Cass Department at the London Metropolitan University.

Before launching Nolan Jewelry, Stacy worked as a jewelry designer for a number of clients. Her commissioned designs have been featured in U.S. Weekly, Daily Candy, and several popular fashion magazines. Stacy’s creative impulse led her to branch out into handbags and accessories as well. Like her jewelry, these designs are unique and fashion-forward while maintaining a classic touch.

A down-home girl with modern sensibilities and a dedication to quality, Stacy is an American classic. Her jewelry has attitude without pretension and is wearable with everything from jeans to a cocktail dress. Because she uses only the highest quality materials, her designs are timeless.

Stacy personally designs all of her pieces adding a bit of herself into each one. She is proud that all of her designs are made in the U.S.A. by the finest in their crafts.
