As a Libra who keeps things in balance, Arielle J Fierman, knew that there had to be a way to combine both her passions- wellness and jewelry.  In 2009, Arielle founded Be Well with Arielle, a health counseling and jeWELLry company devoted to empowering, inspiring and motivating women to look and feel beautiful, inside and out.  Her colorful and bold jewelry designs are intended to uplift your chakras, reflect your inner beauty and balance your body’s physical, emotional and spiritual energy.

All designs are eco-chic, chakra-inspired, infused with Reiki (a healing energy to strengthen a person’s inner light) and made in New York City with love.

In support of the green effort, many of Be Well with Arielle designs are made from recycled metals, vintage chains, reclaimed crystals (mostly from her Grandmother’s chandelier!) and packaged in reusable gift bags.

Arielle’s passion for jewelry, health, wellness, fitness and sustainability has not come overnight.  At the age of five, she and her father began growing fresh herbs, strawberries and tomatoes on her family’s 21st floor Manhattan terrace.  It is there that she learned the importance of patience, nurturing, sunlight and water.  From as early as she remembers, her mother would take her to nearby farmers markets and flea markets, where she learned how to sort through ripe fruits and vegetables, necklaces and other vintage bargains.  She would dress up in her grandmother’s clip-on earrings, with a collection of whistles adorned around her neck.

Arielle was born and bred in New York City.  After graduating Binghamton University with a B.S. in Human Development, she moved back home to work in Special Events and Fashion Relations at Estee Lauder and MAC Cosmetics.  Her experience with color, beauty products and working backstage during New York City’s famed Fashion Week, led her to pursue her passion for health and nutrition, as well as a desire to find beauty and happiness from within.

In 2008, Arielle graduated from the Institute for Integrative Nutrition (IIN), where she learned different dietary theories and healing practices, combining a knowledge of traditional philosophies with modern concepts.  She is Board Certified by the AADP (American Association of Drugless Practitioners), with an additional certificate from Teachers College, Columbia University.  While going to school and starting up Be Well with Arielle, IIN’s teachers encouraged her to find a niche market and mesh her nutrition, wellness and “green” interests with her passion for making and designing jewelry.

A portion of the proceeds from Be Well with Arielle will go to Wellness in the Schools, a grassroots organization that promotes children’s environmental health, nutrition and fitness within New York City public schools.  Click here to see Arielle’s debut at Whole Foods Union Square for Wellness in the School’s 5% Day.

For the past six years, Arielle has taken jewelry, metalsmithing, wax carving and beading classes at Lorenzo De Medici in Florence, Italy, Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT), 92nd Street Y and the Jewish Community Center (JCC).  She recently took The Artist Way class with Julia Cameron, frequently reads encouraging books by authors such as Marianne Williamson, does as many sun salutations per week as possible and is inspired daily by her life coach, Gabrielle Bernstein.

Arielle currently resides in Manhattan and has no plan to ever move! She is a daughter, a sister, a girlfriend and a best friend.

Be Fearless. Be Beautiful. Be Well.
