Our Mission

Noel Parker Designs is more than just a jewelry company. While we are dedicated to designing beautiful pieces, our mission is to create wearable reminders of mindfulness. Through our motto, "One Bead At A Time", we encourage you to view each bead as a stepping stone on your individual journey. Every bracelet serves as a reminder that taking a moment to slow down and focus on the next right thing — one step at a time — is always enough.

In line with our commitment to self-growth and mindfulness at Noel Parker Designs, our all-natural gemstones possess unique energetic healing properties. Be sure to check out the product descriptions to learn more about each gemstone and visit the homepage to shop by gemstone.

Meet the Founder

Noel Fauntleroy

Hi! My name is Noel Fauntleroy, and in 2024, I founded Noel Parker Designs. The name honors my beloved grandmother and namesake, Noel Parker McKissick, who passed away when I was six years old. She holds a special place in my heart, and I often feel her companionship and guidance as I navigate life’s various adventures.

I’m a Richmond, VA native and graduated from the University of Virginia in 2017. After dedicating several years to a professional equestrian career, I made a pivotal decision to step away from the sport in 2020. Having spent much of my life in a saddle and riding boots, this transition challenged me to redefine my identity as I embarked on a meaningful journey of self-discovery.

Noel Parker Designs is my passion project, and a combination of various elements that truly inspire me — creativity, mindfulness, and personal growth. Being hands-on keeps me grounded, and I view beading as a form of mindfulness —it's a perfect way to meditate while I create. When I’m not beading, you’ll likely find me trying out new recipes, practicing yoga, exploring the outdoors with my two dogs, Vixie and Preston, or on a horse (yes, it's hard to stay away).
