HANDMADE IN TEXAS
From the outset we started ILA knowing that we would never outsource our craftsmanship. It took years to build our process and our workshop, but it is where we love to be. By having the design and craftsmanship under the same roof we are able to ensure our visions are meticulously executed.

SUSTAINABLE GOLD
By handcrafting everything in our workshop we control the precious materials that we craft our jewelry from. ILA uses recycled precious metals certified by the The Conflict-Free Sourcing Initiative and by the SCS Recycled Content Standard V6-0. We also use our client’s unused jewelry, up-cycling the gold and circumventing any mining processes for the precious metals.
ILA DIAMONDS & GEMSTONES
The ILA family has more than 40 years of diamantaire experience, Over the years, ILA has cultivated personal relationships with cutting factories, mining companies, and foundries. ILA gemologists purchase directly from these sources ensuring that ILA diamonds and are sourced in a sustainable manner.
Ila & Vikas, the Creative Directors behind ILA, hold a special place in their hearts for colored gemstones. They decided early on to work with a small palette of colors and to find the most unique and beautiful specimens of those gemstones for their jewelry. The siblings along with their mother, Pratibha who is a master gemologist, travel the world to cut and discover some of their unique finds.
