I recently came across Stella & Dot, a San Francisco-based jewelry company that has slowly but surely made its way into our home and native land, Canada. Founded by mother-of-two Jessica Herrin, her goal and vision for the company was to fulfill three missions: 1) allow women to thrive as entrepreneurs; 2) provide a career that allows time for family and balance; and 3) provide a service and product women really need. Stella & Dot is definitely a company to look out for. Its products have graced the pages of Lucky, Elle, and The New York Times, and have been on celebrities like Nina Dobrev, Katy Perry, and my girl Jennifer Aniston!
Wait, but you thought this was just a rad jewelry company, didn’t you? Well, so did I… until a few weeks ago. Not only does Stella & Dot offer some chic-as-hell jewelry pieces to add to your ever-growing collections, but it also gives women the opportunity to build careers as entrepreneurs. Stella & Dot ‘Stylists’ are independent business owners who sell jewelry and accessories via ‘Trunk Shows’, either at a home or office. They’re also known as Jewelry Parties and I am 100% down with that! (If anyone is hosting a Trunk Show, don’t forget to call me!)

Oh, and the Stella & Dot company has even more than super chic accessories and women empowerment, it also has a great social conscience. During the month of April, in honour of National Autism Awareness Month, 100% of all net proceeds (from their special capsule collection) will benefit the HollyRod Foundation – an organization dedicated to providing compassionate care to those living with autism and their families. Let me just reiterate that: 100% percent of all net proceeds will be donated! Talk about a company with a seriously big heart.
Don’t forget to like Stella & Dot’s Facebook Page and follow them on Twitter and Instagram for all their sweet updates!
