Nina, the owner of Sweet Eloise Boutique, has always had an affinity for historic places, people of bygone eras, the jewelry they wore, and gave as gifts. Each piece was thoughtfully created and held special meaning for the wearer or recipient. Each element was symbolic, or held a treasured memento from a cherished person or moment in life. Those pieces told a story. With her appreciation for things of sentimental value, Nina found a way to preserve treasured keepsakes in a similar way. After realizing that many people keep flowers and collected items hidden away, she developed a process of turning those flowers and special treasures into something that retains its special meaning, but also has purpose. She transforms flowers and collectable items into wearable works of art. 

Nina’s designs were featured in the Fall 2019 Issue of Napa Valley Life Magazine. She is also a featured designer with Metal & Smith NYC.
