About the Brand

Welcome to The Beautiful Nomad

The Beautiful Nomad is a handmade, gemstone jewelry company based in Vancouver, BC. Founded in 2014, our concept is rooted in west coast living- wellness and nature.

Our vision is to inspire healthy and mindful living in a way that works best for YOU through self-care practices; together with, creating something beautiful and enduring from the earth- gemstones can add so much meaning into our daily lives.

"Ancient belief was that crystals were the bones of Mother Earth..."

Mala beads act as touchstone pieces for setting intentions using beautiful gemstones. They are also a reminder to live with love and passion! The Beautiful Nomad Malas are both intentional and aesthetic in nature. The natural beauty and sacred properties of gemstones are coupled with a modern look- meaning each mala is both attractive and purposeful.

Thank you for stopping by our little corner of the internet- I hope this space acts as a place to inspire and be inspired.

About the Designer

Hi there! My name is Jessica Wilson and I'm the founder, designer and now co-owner (just recently partnered with my husband!) of The Beautiful Nomad. I grew up in sunny Tsawwassen, a coastal suburb just outside of Vancouver where my love for nature and outdoors was fostered. Some of my fondest memories of my childhood include boating, exploring the beach, playing in the backyard with my brother and Saturday night BBQ's!

A love for the outdoors was coupled with a passion for creative work- whether that be through painting, fashion or taking art history classes. This lead me to graduating from University with a Fashion Marketing diploma and a BBA in Entrepreneurial Leadership, and hence The Beautiful Nomad was born!

Designer Notes

I started making Malas before I knew anything about yoga and meditation- I made them because I thought they looked beautiful and I fell in love with the sentiment behind them. As someone who has struggled with anxiety I had no idea where to begin with meditation. Now, it’s something I sooo look forward to- just 10 minutes every morning before I start work.

My hope is that I can make meditation and crystals un-intimidating for you and help you make self-care a priority WHILE also offering you some awesome jewelry that can take you from your 6am yoga class to a night out downtown- because it’s all about balance!
