Handmade in Texas
Our Ethos
"From the outset, I started ILA with a commitment to design and handcraft all of our jewelry in-house. It took years to build our process and our workshop, but it is where we love to be. Keeping everything under one roof allows us to ensure that the pieces we imagine are meticulously made while upholding our sustainable pledge.
We control the precious materials we work with, including recycled precious metals, sustainable diamonds, and responsibly sourced gemstones. My mother and I personally source every diamond and gemstone used in our designs, working directly with cutting factories to ensure both the quality and the provenance of our stones."
