Nialaya Bracelets for Women

Danish-born, Los Angeles-based designer Jannik Olander was inspired to create his handmade jewellery line after a chance encounter with a Shaman (named Nialaya, naturally) in India. After being presented with his own birthstone and told of its healing powers, Olander began to design an intricate collection of macramé bracelets and necklaces featuring semi-precious stones and healing powers of their own. What started out as a labor of love from the garage of his Hollywood Hills home has now grown into two Nialaya collections a year, which add 14 karat gold pieces and exotic designs to the brand's now iconic beaded bracelets.
