Accessories

Inspired by the sugar sand, cobalt blue skies and lush landscaping of their home in the Virgin Islands, Jules Smith creates luxe resort jewelry. The collections tell the story of a fashion forward soul bridging the gap between metropolitan trends and the laid-back, organic vibe of the Caribbean. Drawing from a myriad of life experiences, Gina Nigrelli’s appreciation for adventure and natural beauty began while studying abroad in Harare, Zimbabwe.

She began her fashion career at Diesel in Las Vegas where she was a manager and merchandiser. It was the exposure to the strong brand identity and cutting edge fashion philosophy of Diesel that motivated her to take the next step in her career. Always willing to take a leap of faith, Gina moved to Chicago to pursue a degree in fashion design. While in school, Gina held the post of Director of Marketing and Events for a national online shopping destination. In 2006, Gina and her husband relocated to the Virgin Islands. It was in this exotic environment that Gina was finally able to pursue her lifelong dream of designing her own collection. Jules Smith was established later that year.
