Her showroom – a creative space
within her architecture and interior
design firm located in the greater
Los Angeles area – is filled with dis-
plays and cases the designer created
herself. "We get so many compli-
ments on the displays alone" says
Rosa, which she believes enhances
the overall look of the pieces. "We
launched our brand at the end of
2017, but soon after I realized even
though I loved how the pieces
turned out, the collection wasn't spe-
cific enough. So, we went back to
the drawing board, and we reconfig-
ured, redesigned, and updated
approximately 70% of the existing
collection in order to make it fall
precisely in our point of view:
ELEGANCE WITH AN EDGE."
By May of 2018, Rosa and her team
finally had the collection they were
happy with: breathtaking pieces that
are sophisticated, daring, and yet still,
wondrous.

Rosa's idea is simple in theory but
often hard to convert to reality for
most everyday jewelry designers: cre-
ate convertible jewels that have the
look of luxury but can still be worn
with faded jeans and a white t-shirt.
"Our jewelry is 'fine' but it is made to
be worn daily, with all clothing styles
and with every outfit you put togeth-
er. I often think to myself, 'if you
paid the money to buy this piece of
jewelry, why aren't you wearing it ev-
eryday, in multiple configurations?'"
