Native-Made Handwoven
Contemporary Beadweaving​

Lillie Nell jewelry is handwoven using the finest Japanese glass beads, nylon thread, and a tiny needle without the use of a bead loom. As each bead is threaded by hand, the needle and thread pass through each bead 2-4 times. From design concept to final stitch, each pair of Lillie Nell earrings takes 2-4 hours to create and contain an average of 1,200 beads per pair.

Who is Lillie Nell?

Hi, my name is Holly Nolan and I am the owner and beadweaver behind Lillie Nell, named for my paternal grandmother. Unfortunately I was never able to meet her due to growing up without knowing my biological father or my Native American ancestry. Thanks to social media I have been able with connect to my family and learn about our wonderful Granny. My sisters tell me that Lillie Nell was the strongest woman, that she was a hard worker, that she cared deeply for her community, and could make anything.
When I started beading as a way to find a connection to my MOWA Choctaw family it seemed like a natural choice to name my company for my grandmother.

Can non-Native people wear Native-made beadwork?

Everyone can wear Lillie Nell jewelry. As a full-time artist, I could not do what I do without your support. You can show your appreciation for Native American art by wearing non-regalia Native American-made jewelry.

LIGHT AS A FEATHER

My Lillie Nell customers are always amazed by how lightweight my beaded earrings are.
