rebel nell

Founded in 2013 in Detroit by Amy Peterson—a former Detroit Tigers employee who lived near a women's shelter—and Diana Roginson, Rebel Nell is a mission-driven jewelry brand that transforms fallen graffiti and historic materials into wearable art. The brand's signature process involves harvesting layers of peeled spray paint from Detroit's abandoned corridors and designated art walls, which are then cut, polished, and set into one-of-a-kind rings, necklaces, earrings, and cufflinks. Beyond graffiti, Rebel Nell incorporates reclaimed materials from iconic local landmarks, such as leather from Joe Louis Arena locker room stools, glass from the Anna Scripps Whitcomb Conservatory, and vinyl from the Tigers dugout, preserving the city's cultural history.
