About Us
Hello! I’m Janara!
Jewelry Designer
Hi! I’m Janara (pronounced Ja-na-da), the Master Designer and Owner of Sili+Bells.
Born in Harlem and raised in Chicago, I hold degrees in Sociology and Visual Communications, along with an MBA in Marketing. After a decade in corporate marketing, I founded my first company, Jais-Ink, a graphic design firm. In 2013, I left the corporate world to focus on my family, and shortly after, Sili+Bells was born out of my passion for crafting unique jewelry for my children.
I’m excited to offer handcrafted, eco-friendly pieces that reflect individuality and style. I’m also proud to share that Sili+Bells was featured on Grown-ish, with our earrings worn by Kiela Hall, played by Daniella Taylor, thanks to the incredible costume design by Michelle Cole.
I’m thrilled to share my passion with you and look forward to helping you find the perfect piece!
Thank you so much for supporting Sili+Bells. Whether this is your first visit or you’ve been a customer from the start, I truly appreciate your support.

About Sili+Bells
handcrafted. sustainable. jewelry.
Sili+Bells, named after my daughters Silina and Isabella, was born in 2017 from a desire to find affordable, stylish “safe metal” earrings for my kids. After my daughter lost her second pair of Sterling silver earrings, I decided to create my own. From that small personal project, Sili+Bells evolved into a brand offering handmade jewelry and upcycled accessories for men, women, and children.
At Sili+Bells, we specialize in crafting exquisitely designed jewelry using upcycled leather and repurposed denim, combined with stainless steel and premium beads. Every piece is a reflection of unique style and artistry. With a background in graphic design, I take pride in creating wearable art that not only looks stunning but also supports a sustainable fashion ethos.
Our Eco-Promise: Sustainable Style, Handcrafted with Purpose
At Sili+Bells, sustainability is not just a buzzword—it’s the core of everything we do. Every handcrafted piece is made with 80% upcycled materials, like recycled leather and repurposed denim, ensuring a perfect blend of style and eco-consciousness. Plus, for every purchase, we plant a tree in your name, contributing to a greener, more sustainable future. Choose Sili+Bells for jewelry that not only elevates your look but also supports the planet.
Our Collections
