NEW! Artist in Residence
Belle Starr welcomes Christina Swingdler, artist and maker of Christina Anastasia jewelry, as the boutique’s resident artist.
This Saturday, 4/5, Christina will host a pop-up jewelry studio from 1-4 pm and 6-9 pm in the Belle Starr storefront (405 2nd Street in Old Town Eureka). Customers who make a Belle Starr purchase of $50+ on 4/5 can add a pair of matching earrings for $25–custom made on the spot. As time allows, Christina will custom make a pair of earrings (from beads/materials present) for $50, with no qualifying purchase.
BELLA CHRISTINA jewelry line
Belle Starr is excited about the release of a new Christina line, called Bella Christina–a selection of 5 new earring styles that will be available at Belle Starr later in April. Sue visited Christina's studio a few weeks ago, and they identified beads and styles that will compliment the beautiful Belle Starr clothing. Each style is limited to 10-20 pairs each, and will be available only at Belle Starr–in the Old Town storefront or online at belle-starr.com. If you want to know more about pop-up studios, Bella Christina, and other things we’re planning in the year ahead, be sure to head over to the online store and sign up for our email list.

You’ll see more collaborations like this over the coming year, with pop-up boutiques, Friday Night Market collaborations, and in-store events. Also look for the release of Bella Christina jewelry: a couture Belle Starr artist series. Featuring four seasonal releases, the limited-edition collection will launch in April. Dedicated fans who collect multiple styles over the year will be eligible for additional perks, to be announced.
