Stephanie Wells (born May 1, 1968) is an American jewelry designer who co-founded Double Happiness Jewelry.

Biography

Born in Los Angeles in 1968, Wells grew up in Canada and southern California before moving to San Francisco to study marketing and religion.[1] Her studies in religion would later influence her jewelry designs by combining Eastern mysticism with Western design.

Double Happiness

Wells started the California-based company[2] Double Happiness Jewelry with her sister, Alisa Rottenberg, in her San Diego home in 2001.[3] Wells named the company after the Chinese concept of unity and new beginnings.[1] Wells' original vision was to create jewelry similar to that of the Bedouin people of Egypt, with whom she had stayed while visiting the Sinai Desert.[4] Shortly after its creation, the company won the 2001 Gen Art Fresh Faces in Fashion competition. The line has appeared in Allure, Bridal Guide, Harpers Bazaar, W, and Vogue.[5]

In 2010, Wells published The Earring Style Book, a how-to guide about Double Happiness Jewelry's designs. Double Happiness began collaborating with Jewelry Television in 2011.[6]

Today Double Happienes has more than 400 stores worldwide.[2]
