“Sofia Joseph” is much more than handmade jewelry
The creator of these beautiful pieces is also a dancer and musician. From an early age Sofia expressed an interest in arts such as music and professional dancing which allowed her to travel the world and discover a passion for textures, forms, colors and contrasts. This passion lead her to the formally study Gemology, Metalsmithing and Jewelry making.
During the mid 90’s she begins to design natural and simple pieces in Mexico City.
In 2008 while residing in Los Angeles, CA she begins her studies in Gemology at
the Gemological Institute of America (G.I.A.) where she obtains her credits in:
• A.J.P. ( Accredited Jewelry Professional)
• G.D. (Graduate Diamonds )
• G.C.S. (Graduate Colored Stones)
After completing her studies Sofia moves to Europe in search of inspiration to create her new pieces. In 2010 in the city of Milan, Italy she studies Metalsmithing and Wax Design at the Scuola Orafa Ambrosiana. Rome, Venice, Amsterdam, Berlin, Athens, Madrid, Paris, Gibraltar among others, gifted her with great creative inspiration and develops her exquisite style.
Upon her return to Los Angeles, CA she decides to take this adventure to the most professional level by making it her life’s passion. In 2012 Sofia, completes her studies of Jewelry Design and Precious Metal Clay at the OTIS College of Art and Design.
Heartbroken when our beloved Toska passed away after 21 years of being our beloved cat in the family, we decided to adopt Luna months after, a while little bichon frise who quickly became Sofia's partner in the studio. Inspiring Luna Pet Jewelry, she helped breathe love into every bead, fabric, and stitch in the company making everything special, from going out to staying at home.
This 2017 we started off our year by rescuing Frida, a white American bulldog who is helping bring every necklace to life for beautiful big dogs
