Jewelry
In addition to designing clothes, Nena Soul Fly designs and makes handmade jewelry that similarly resonate with her mission to liberate women of their sensuality through incorporating vibrant colors and textiles that are embedded with different energetic meanings. Soul Fly gathers her materials from local vintage stores around Los Angeles and from found reusable materials. She also receives some materials and frabrics from friends who frequently travel to Africa, Guatemala or the Philippines and incorporates these textiles and patterns into her creative process.
Nena Soul Fly is well known for making handmade statement jewelry; neckalaces, earrings, headwraps and eyewear that stand out with bold geometric designs and vibrant color schemes. She is well known as the creator of the original hand wrapped Door Knocker Bamboo Earring, many of which are displayed in the images on this page. Although some of her most popular creations appear to be earrings and necklaces, she also makes headwraps and eyewear. Everything is made by hand, so each piece made is its very own unique original.
Subtly is not in the vocabularly used to describe Soul Fly's Jewelry lines. She creates jewelry that makes a statement and allows women to feel in control of their appearance in a manner that exudes confidence and liberates one's feminity. As whole, Soul Fly's jewelry lines originate from a place of high energy and spirituality through the colors and materials used that "combines the flyness of urban ladies with the soul of Afrikan and indigenous women around the globe" (https://www.etsy.com/people/nenasoulfly).
