La Belle Piece is a collective of amazingly talented artisans and designers who are passionate about their craft and want to share it with the world. What better way to celebrate a new season than with accessories!

I would also like to introduce our Featured Designer of the Week, Ms. Leslie Nichols! She is one of the first jewelry designers that I ever met on my journey to this point, and I am truly grateful that I did. Her generous spirit, hard work and passion for what she does truly inspires me and many others. Her sense of humor, love of family and Christ are evident in the pieces she produces, both for her collections and her clients. See her feature and beautiful pieces on page 3. I hope that you enjoy the pieces throughout these pages, many of which are for sale and you can shop for them right inside these pages! Thank you so much for your support! Handmade with heart,
Talia
