Bolola Jewelry and Necklaces

Bolola Jewelry and Necklaces

Bolola was founded in New York by luxury-fashion veterans Martha Merriam and Lauren Traupman Raphael, with a single idea: the bolo tie, reworked as jewelry. The pieces are plated in gold and rhodium and set with real gemstones and lab-grown diamonds, as Airmail and others have noted. This edit gathers the necklaces and rings that show how far a Western staple can travel.

Necklaces

I love a brand that picks one object and commits, and Bolola's object is the bolo tie. The Lola, Lolita, Blythe and Jo necklaces pair gold or silver with garnet, yellow opal, prehnite and citrine.

The color story keeps going with malachite, grey pearl and more citrine, so the same slider shape can read Western or entirely urban. It is a clever way to make one silhouette feel like many.

Rings

The Lola ring takes the necklace's language down to the hand in grey pearl, turquoise, malachite and lapis. These are the pieces that make the idea feel more like a wardrobe than a gimmick.

From the Southwest, via New York

The bolo tie is the official neckwear of Arizona and New Mexico, and Bolola's founders have turned it into something worn in the West Village as easily as the Wild West. That range is the whole pitch. On the jewelry side, I like how Bolola's bolo ties open up into rings and necklaces with meaningful little details.
