At Solana Studios, jewelry isn’t just for adorning, it’s a way to connect with women and local communities by providing ethically sourced jewelry and quality experiences. What started as a pop-up jewelry business has flourished into a store front and a team that brings permanent jewelry, ear curation and piercing, and fine line tattoos to Northern Colorado.
Monique Suzette, owner of Solana Studios, is a seasoned professional with 12 years of experience working with fine jewelry. Solana Studios started its pop-up appearances at boutiques, markets, business launches and anniversary parties, and offering private experiences for bridal parties, baby showers, and bachelorette parties almost a year ago, with a goal to connect with women and create a community with other small businesses.
“That’s the heart of Solana. Connecting with women, people in general but women specifically, and then also connecting those women to other small businesses, not just mine,” Suzette said.
Her inspiration for opening up a studio was to create an intimate atmosphere that brings women together where they can feel good about themselves while building a community. A sanctuary for those wanting to come in and leave feeling better and taken care of.
The great lengths Suzette goes to incorporate authenticity in her work continues in the products she sells. Her jewelry is ethically and intentionally sourced from the USA and Italy, ensuring the highest quality in sterling silver, rose gold, and 14k gold. Including locally sourced materials is an important aspect of Solana Studios as well, rings sourced from Fort Collins and chains sourced from Denver are included in her collection.
The grand opening of Solana Studios at 409 N Garfield Ave in Loveland in March was the continuation of its mission to provide elevated experiences to women in a space that promotes connection, community building, and feeling your best.
