Nana G’s & The Bolo Guy
One-of-a-Kind Jewelry. Handcrafted With Heart.
Welcome to Nana G’s & The Bolo Guy, where creativity, craftsmanship, and imagination come together to create jewelry unlike anything else.
Based in Wurtsboro, New York, we specialize in handcrafted, one-of-a-kind jewelry made from sterling silver, gemstones, cabochons, vintage flatware, and other unexpected materials. From distinctive bolo ties and pendants to bracelets and rings, every piece begins with an idea and is transformed by hand into something truly unique.
No two pieces are exactly alike—and that’s the way we like it.
Our Story
Nana G’s is more than a jewelry business. It is a story of creativity, partnership, love, and carrying a tradition forward.
Owner and artisan John, together with his partner Amber, continues the creative journey that began with John and his late wife, Liz.
John and Liz operated the business together from 2017 until Liz’s passing in 2024. Their shared love of creativity, design, and entrepreneurship became the foundation of Nana G’s. Today, John continues to bring that same passion and spirit to every piece he creates.
What started with a love for making unusual and beautiful things has grown into a collection of jewelry designed for people who want something different—something with character, history, and a story of its own.
Where Imagination Meets Craftsmanship
We don’t believe inspiration has to come from a jewelry store.
A beautiful piece of vintage silverware, an unusual gemstone, a striking cabochon, or an object that most people might overlook can become the starting point for something extraordinary.
John loves finding possibilities in unexpected materials and turning them into wearable art.
