I grew up in my father’s fine jewelry workshop
He was — a Master of the Jewelry Guild in Bulgaria — and some of my earliest memories are of sitting beside him at the bench, watching gold take shape under his hands. He taught me that a piece of jewelry is never only an object. It is a small inheritance, made with the quiet intention that someone, fifty years from now, will still be wearing it.
That idea is the reason ANTOANETTA exists.
I trained as a jewelry designer at the Gemological Institute of America and opened my own atelier in Los Angeles in 2005 — a small, female-run family studio where every piece is handcrafted in solid 14k gold, start to finish. No plating. No shortcuts. The team I work with is the same group of bench jewelers I have trusted for years.
For over two decades, ANTOANETTA has created fine jewelry with a sculptural sensibility — pieces made in solid gold, diamonds, and gemstones, designed to feel personal, enduring, and quietly distinctive. Some are made for everyday wear. Some mark important moments. Some are one of a kind. All are made with the same belief: jewelry should carry meaning, not just decoration.
Our work has been exhibited at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Madrid, the National Museum of Decorative Arts in Madrid, and the Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum. Those rooms confirmed something I had always believed — that a well-made piece of jewelry belongs in the same conversation as sculpture.
What connects everything we make is form, craftsmanship, and intention.
I am drawn to jewelry that feels alive in the hand — textured, dimensional, symbolic, and made to be touched. Some pieces move. Some hold a stone in a way that feels organic and intimate. Some are quiet enough to wear every day, but detailed enough to become part of your personal history.
Today I split my life between Europe and Los Angeles, but the atelier has always stayed where it started. Every piece we make leaves our LA studio. When you order from us, you are not buying from a faceless storefront — you are working with me, and with the jewelers I know best, to create a piece made with care, history, and intention.
If you have a question, a custom idea, or a sizing concern, write to me directly. I read every message.
