Exquisite Magenta Tourmaline Purple Pink Blue Spinel Diamonds Gold Pendant

Gemstone expert and jewelry designer Bella Campbell has an eye for creating beautiful pieces of wearable art. Her award-winning Campbellian collection showcases bold creativity and fearless use of color. The collection's dangle earrings and pendant necklaces feature spectacular magenta tourmalines, Malaya pink garnets and blue sapphires, while a dazzling cocktail ring from the line may boast a cushion-cut moonstone encircled in diamonds set on an 18-karat gold band. 

Campbell was born in Georgia, the former republic of Russia, and came to America as an adult. While she had already earned a degree in physics, she decided to turn her attention to the world of jewelry design. She secured degrees in gemology and fashion merchandising and retail from the Fashion Institute of Technology and became an associate buyer for the jewelry department at Macy's in New York City. Afterward, she became a chief gem trader for Kaiser Gems, a leading company in the global wholesale gemstone trade. After 26 years with Kaiser, Campbell decided to strike out on her own.

In 2014, Campbell decided to pursue her passion and create her own jewelry line — she had long been designing jewelry for her sisters and herself, and the transition toward making a career of it felt natural. Named for and motivated by her son, Ian, the Campbellian collection, which is eminently on-trend but offers a timeless appeal, is a culmination of Campbell's deep knowledge of the industry and extensive expertise in handling colored gemstones. 

Many of the gemstones used in Cambell's one-of-a-kind pieces are sourced from the collection she built over the course of her career. She has cited Fabergé and JAR as influences, and her favorite stones to use for their distinctive shimmer are moonstone, zircon, opal and Paraiba tourmaline, which comes from deep in the copper-rich mountains of Paraiba, Brazil. Every piece, elegant and seductive in its geometry and bursts of color, is inspired by specific moments in Campbell's life.

Campbell's exquisite jewelry designs have won numerous Spectrum Awards in the American Gem Trade Association's design competitions, including top recognition in the Bridal Wear category.
