Golden Plume Jewelry designer Nita Blum moved to LA five years ago in hopes of finding a more creative, less corporate opportunity in filmmaking, but after one night of jewelry making at Venice's Kiki Designs with a friend she was, ahem ... hooked. Two years later, her handcrafted jewelry, inspired by sunny days and west coast living, has become equally popular among stylists, brides-to-be and fellow yogis. When she's not shopping for natural stones or Reiki-ing amethysts, you might find her at one of these preferred spots relaxing and re-energizing around the Marina and Venice Beach.
