Helen Ficalora

A pioneer of the alphabet-charm craze, jewelry designer Helen Ficalora began selling her customizable baubles a decade ago to guests at her family's surfside hotel in Montauk, Long Island. With her eponymous Nolita flagship, the message remains the same: classic jewelry inspired by peace, love and the beach. Amass a collection of earthy-yet-luxe pieces that can be custom-ordered with or without diamonds in platinum and rose, white or yellow 14-karat gold—family heirlooms in the making.
