every piece in the juwels & co collection is made to order by hand in our los angeles studio. no factory. no mass production. just skilled hands, meaningful materials, and a commitment to making something worth keeping.
most fine jewelry is made in a factory. ours isn't.
every piece in the juwels & co collection is handcrafted in los angeles — made to order, made for the specific person who ordered it. that means no warehouse full of rings waiting to ship. no shortcuts. no excess inventory. just a piece that didn't exist until you chose it.
this is what that process actually looks like.
what "made to order" actually means
when you place an order with juwels & co, your piece doesn't exist yet.
it begins with your choice — the gemstone, the setting, the metal. from there, our los angeles-based artisans get to work. each piece is shaped, set, and finished by hand. the process takes time because it should. there's no rushing something meant to last a lifetime.
made to order also means made with intention. we don't produce pieces hoping someone will buy them. we make pieces because someone already has.
the hands behind the jewelry
our team brings decades of experience to every piece they touch.
our gemologists hand-select each stone — examining not just technical grades, but the way light moves through it, the way it sits. the difference between a good stone and the right stone is something you feel, not just measure.
our metalworkers craft settings designed to do two things: hold the stone securely, and let it breathe. whether it's yellow gold, white gold, or rose gold, every metal choice is made to complement the stone — not compete with it.
why we make everything in los angeles
the decision to produce in los angeles was intentional from the beginning — and it has never changed.
it means we can stand behind every step of the process. we know where our materials come from. we know the people making your pieces. we can ensure fair labor, responsible sourcing, and a level of quality control that simply isn't possible when production happens overseas or at scale.
it also means that when you reach out to us, you're talking to people who are close to the work. not a customer service script. not an automated response. just julia or julia, who knows your order and cares about getting it right.
responsible sourcing, by choice
our commitment to handcrafted, local production isn't just about quality — it's about responsibility.
we use responsibly sourced materials and maintain a traceable supply chain. we believe how something is made matters as much as what it looks like.
what people ask us most
Is Juwels & Co jewelry actually handmade?
yes. every piece is handcrafted by skilled artisans in our los angeles studio. we do not use mass production or overseas manufacturing. each piece is made individually, to order, after you purchase.
What metal does Juwels & Co use?
solid 14k gold only. not plated, not gold-filled, not vermeil. solid gold. every piece, every time. solid gold does not tarnish, wear through, or cause skin reactions the way plated metals can.
How long does a handcrafted piece take to make?
most pieces are ready within 7–14 business days. because each piece is made to order, the timeline reflects the actual crafting process — not a warehouse delay. if you need a piece by a specific date, reach out and we'll tell you exactly what's possible.
Where is Juwels & Co located?
los angeles, california. our jewelry is handcrafted in our LA studio. juwels & co was founded by julia van arsdale and julia malysch, both of whom are directly involved in the process and personally reachable by customers.
Can I request a custom piece?
yes. personalization is a core part of what we do. gemstone choice, metal type, and certain design elements can be customized. reach out at hello@juwels.co to discuss what you have in mind.
