Rebel Nell was born in 2013, driven by the mission to employ women facing hiring barriers in Detroit and provide fair wages and valuable financial, wellness, and entrepreneurship skills to empower them towards independent lives. After spotting fallen graffiti on the ground, the founders realized that the many colorful layers weren’t just aesthetically appealing—they represented the strong women of Rebel Nell. By foraging graffiti pieces and fashioning them into stately jewelry—like necklaces, bracelets, and cufflinks—Rebel Nell brings subtle street-art style to all. Best of all, each repurposed piece is unique, reflecting the jewelry’s creators and customers alike.
