SJ Bailey's Guide to Atlanta, GA

Sparkle meets sophistication as this designer shares her local faves.

Cue the bells and invite your besties - wedding season is officially in full swing.

Speaking of besties, we’re about to introduce you to yours. Meet SJ Bailey, the Atlanta-based jewelry designer behind SJ Bailey Co. and SJ Bailey Curated.

What started as a hobby while she was still in high school — crafting unique jewelry she couldn’t find in stores — soon grew into creating custom pieces for family and friends and SJ Bailey Co. was born.

With the goal to make women feel confident about themselves, SJ Bailey Co. has become the go-to destination for those craving sophisticated sparkle with a romantic twist.

Each SJ Bailey Co. piece is unique and designed by Bailey herself. Her dreamy bridal earrings (think pearls, natural gemstones and floral details with a dash of European charm) have become statement pieces in their own right.

But Bailey’s fans don’t stop once they’ve said their “I dos.” Bridesmaids often come back for their own weddings, and customers regularly tap her for custom pieces to mark everything from baby showers to baptisms. Bailey’s ready-to-shop collection is available online, but she also collaborates with clients on bespoke designs, whether that means tweaking an existing style or creating something entirely new from scratch.

A graduate of the University of Georgia, Bailey moved to Atlanta in 2019. She shares a behind-the-scenes look at the life, spaces and finds that fuel her creative spark via SJ Bailey Curated, her personal passion project turned brand extension.

So, who better to share where to stay, savor and sparkle in Atlanta, Georgia?
