Charming, stylish, beautiful… a few words to describe Stella & Dot! I’ve been a fan of Stella & Dot for some time now and was so excited to find out that one of my best friends from college became a stylist! I’m very excited for Alicia to share more about this gorgeous line of jewelry! Enjoy!

Champagne: What is Stella & Dot? 

Alicia with Stella & Dot: Stella and Dot is a home party based jewelry company.  Jessica Harrin created the company in 2004 as Luxe Jewels. She previously created The Wedding Channel.com before selling it to the knot.com, but after having her first child decided she wanted something that she could work around raising her son.  In 2007 Blythe Harris signed on as the creative director.  Her resume is extensive, as she has previously worked for such design powerhouses as Cartier, De Beers and Banana Republic.  The name Stella and Dot is an ode to their grandmothers who paved their fashionable ways.  The designs are both classic and contemporary.

Champagne: Where have I seen it?

Alicia: Other then seeing it on ladies around town you may have seen it featured in magazines such as Vogue, In Style, Lucy, Marie Claire, Redbook and People.  Leighton Mester has also worn it on the Gossip Girl.  It has also been seen on the red carpet by Ali Fedotsky or on air by Maria Menuonos

Champagne: Where can I buy it?

Alicia: You can purchase it online from your personal stylists website.  The best way however is to purchase the jewelry is from a trunk show where you can see and try on various pieces.  You can never really see the quality of a piece of jewelry until you have it on.

Champagne: What are the prices?

Alicia: Half of the line is under $50.  With Design Studio pieces being the most exclusive and expensive.  There are also wonderful discounts for hostesses so any piece can be within reach. Hostesses can even earn free jewelry!  They make great gifts for bridesmaids, mothers, sisters, and friends or as a treat for you.

Champagne: How does a trunk show work?

Alicia: If someone would like to host a Stella and Dot trunk show an independent stylist consultant will set up a meeting to go over the event.  They are run as more of an open house where people can come and browse over the beautiful baubles and glistening jewels.  The only thing the hostess has to provide are blank tabletops, some drinks and snacks for your guests.  The stylist will provide all of the jewelry and displays.

Champagne: When will I receive my jewelry?

Alicia: Jewelry that is not backordered will be shipped and delivered between 3 and 5 business days in fashionable boxes that have cute messages in them.

Champagne: How often does Stella and Dot release new styles and collections?

Alicia: Stella and Dot has two major collection releases, one for Spring/Summer and one for Fall/Winter.  There is also a small collection that releases around the holidays.  Every month Stella and Dot also release a small collection for the Design Studio.  These pieces are all limited edition and showcase a vintage Chanel reproduction.

Champagne: Does Stella and Dot have any other products besides jewelry?

Alicia: Yes, recently Stella and Dot recently started releasing leather purses.  Like all of the Stella and Dot products they are made of high quality material and made in the same factories as Coach and other high-end purses.  Along with the jewelry and purses, Stella and Dot also has a small collection of totes and accessories for electronics.
