Nodaleto and Julietta debut petal jewelry for feet and neckline

Nodaleto and Julietta have turned the ankle into the season’s most intriguing jewelry surface with an eight-piece collaboration that treats feet like prime real estate. The capsule, sold through Nodaleto’s own site, extends Julietta’s petal motif from the neckline to the shoe, with necklaces, shoe clips, anklets and toe rings in red ruby and crystal versions.

The most telling piece is the anklet, which Nodaleto calls its first ankle bracelet. Made from 18K gold-plated brass, Swarovski crystals and a flexible black cord, it carries nine petal-shaped charms and adjusts to 37 cm, giving it enough range to sit against bare skin or skim a strappy sandal. The toe ring is open and adjustable, a small but important detail that makes it more wearable than decorative novelty, while the shoe clips push the collaboration squarely into footwear styling rather than simple body jewelry. The pieces are available for pre-order and are scheduled to begin shipping between July 20 and July 30.

That placement makes sense for Nodaleto, an Italy-manufactured footwear label built on architectural heels, comfort and playful femininity. Julia Toledano’s brand has always trafficked in statement shoes with a sense of wit, so jewelry that fastens to a heel or wraps the ankle feels like an extension of its language rather than a detached licensing exercise. Julietta brings a different but compatible code: the New York City-based label describes itself as a jewelry and accessories brand reimagining vintage elegance with a modern edge, which is exactly the sort of polish that can keep an otherwise whimsical idea from reading as costume.

Julietta founder Juliana Liden gives the collaboration an independent jewelry pedigree. The Brazil native started her first accessories venture during the pandemic, then returned to jewelry after that line failed to connect, building Julietta’s debut collection in mid-2022 from deadstock 1980s components she hand-painted and reconfigured. Moda Operandi’s Lauren Santo Domingo and buyers gave the brand an early lift through a trunk show, and by 2025 the label had become a favorite among stylists and fashion insiders, with fans including Candice Swanepoel, Carla Ginola, Maeve Reilly, Elizabeth Sulcer, Grece Ghanem and Alix Earle.

That mix of practical shoe hardware and jewel-like surfaces is what makes the collaboration more than a seasonal flourish. The necklace and anklet are easy to imagine on their own, but the shoe clips are the real proof of concept, since they shift jewelry from adornment to styling tool. If summer jewelry is moving farther down the body, Nodaleto and Julietta have made an unusually persuasive case for the ankle as the next place to look.
