Who answered our brand transparency questions?
Laura Estrada – CEO at Laura Estrada Jewelry.
Fair Trade
All Laura Estrada Jewelry pieces are created by hand in her studio with recycled metals and locally sourced materials when possible.
Social Justice
With every launch of a new Laura Estrada collection, a percentage is donated to a social justice initiative that promotes racial equality and equal opportunities for every individual. Self-education, reflection, outreach, and discussion with others is also key to continued growth and community support.
Recycled Material
As often as possible, Estrada works with recycled and reclaimed metal in her pieces to create a reduced waste production process. This includes everything from thrifted brass hardware, steel scrap from metal yards, to previous jewelry projects repurposed into new creations.
Local Production
All work by Laura Estrada Jewelry is created by hand in her Los Angeles studio. She works closely with local vendors and material suppliers in DTLA to reduce shipping and manufacturing costs and to support her local economy.
Handcrafted
Each piece of Laura Estrada Jewelry is handcrafted from raw or repurposed materials using traditional metalsmithing methods. She begins with the material in wire and sheet metal form, manipulating it by hand, with tools, and fire to create timeless and meticulously crafted pieces.
Zero Waste
Laura Estrada's jewelry collections are made to order because it cuts down on material waste, excess inventory, and promotes efficiency for her small business. It also nurtures the ideology of slow fashion and bolsters a sense of value in the craftsmanship and love put into handmade work.
Give Back
This brand would not exist without the supportive creative community in which Estrada is a part of. As others show their support, it is her responsibility and desire to give back to our community and to those that need it most. Recent support: Black Lives Matter and the Loveland Foundation.
