Founded by Grace Lavarro, who graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Journalism, Jewels by Grace came into being one afternoon over 2005, when Grace had an ΓÇ£ahaΓÇ¥ moment after hearing Oprah Winfrey on TV advocate following oneΓÇÖs bliss. So after a career in both the entertainment and high tech industries, she had finally found her true bliss ΓÇô it was bling! She fell in love with antique jewelry after having tried on her mother in lawΓÇÖs massive old European cut diamond solitaire (it was 14cts, and the size of her thumb!). From that point on, there was no turning back. Years and years of collecting and hoarding later (with the occasional sale to acquaintances here and there) she finally decided to follow OprahΓÇÖs advice.

A purist at heart, Grace sources the finest, most beautiful and special jewels from sources worldwide ΓÇô jewels which tell stories and have souls. The jewels and diamonds she offers are perfectly imperfect, after all, they have lived for decades and decades, having been fiercely loved by multiple generations ΓÇô how does it get any better than that? They are pieces of our history, and ready for all of us to add ours.

Grace leads a small team of women out of a historic building in downtown Los Angeles, and travels a few times a year at major jewelry shows.
