Alara proudly boasts four Montana designers, all with their own flair.

Stephen Estelle hails from Red Lodge, Montana and moved to Bozeman about 5 years ago. His work is crafted in sterling silver or vermeil (with karat gold pieces available on a special order basis) by the family of artisans that were the royal jewelers for the Nepali Royal Family. The styling is "classic with a twist," and features gems such as moonstone, labradorite, blue topaz, amethyst, citrine, peridot, garnet, and jade.

Rachel Atherley is a graduate of the Montana State University metalsmithing program. Her work is crafted in 14K gold, and features gemstones that used in ways that are unique to her, and designed to enhance their beauty.

B. Noelle is our founder and therefore the OG designer at Alara. Her career spans 42 years now, so her direction has both branched out over time as well as become more finely honed in other ways. She loves lofty and rare gems as well as the humble petrified wood and other rocks she finds and incorporates into her work. She's a multiple national and international award-winner for jewelry design, and really enjoys working with individuals to craft bespoke pieces.
