LA-based jewelry designer Ariel Gordon launched her eponymous collection in 2008. After graduating summa cum laude from UCLA with a BA in English and Italian, Ariel produced red carpets events in Hollywood as a publicist. She began designing jewelry as an escape from the hectic pace of the PR world. When she decided to pursue jewelry design professionally, Ariel moved to San Francisco to learn the craft of metalsmithing and stone setting at the renowned Revere Academy. At Revere, she learned to translate her conceptual designs into timeless and unique jewelry pieces. After returning to Los Angeles, she further honed her design skills with famed jewelry designer Maya Brenner.
Ariel's vision is to create simple jewelry that appeals to a variety of women, with the goal of creating a line that can translate from day to night and that can be integrated into various personal styles. She is inspired by nature, art, architecture, and the inherent beauty of her raw materials. Using sterling silver, gold, and vermeil metals with semi-precious stones and diamonds, Ariel creates pieces that are modern, versatile, and chic with a hint of sexy femininity and bold individuality. Her designs are born from a love of adornment.
All of Ariel's jewelry is handcrafted in Los Angeles. She sources her materials from reputable vendors and is committed to using conflict free stones.
