LA DIOSA JEWELLERY - THE GODDESS

LA DIOSA JEWELLERY - THE GODDESS
UK Based Jewellery Designers



TELL US HOW LA DIOSA STARTED?

Proud Owners (Semhal and Natasha)


After travelling around the world for a year and mainly living in Mexico we were truly inspired by what we experienced. We learned how to make jewelry while living with a small group of women in Mexico and we were heavily influenced by the Aztec designs and culture.

TELL US A BIT ABOUT YOURSELF? BACKGROUND/ORIGIN?




I (Natasha) am from Uganda originally and Sem is half Ethiopian, half Eritrean.We both have the East African connection!



WHY DID YOU CHOOSE LA DIOSA AS YOUR BRAND NAME, DOES IT HAVE A MEANING? HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN IN BUSINESS?


La Diosa literally means The Goddess in Spanish. We aim to evoke qualities of a Goddess through our striking and elegant designs.



WHAT TECHNIQUES AND MATERIALS DO YOU ENJOY USING IN YOUR WORK?

ELLE Necklace


La Diosa only uses semi-precious or precious gemstones. We love working with the vibrant and lustrous colors to create our designs, they really make a visual impact and add to the value of the piece. My favorite gemstone is Labradorite

The La Diosa woman can be anyone, it's about what she intends to bring out of herself. La Diosa is all about empowering the wearer and making her feel beautiful and confident like a Goddess.


NAME AND DESCRIPTION OF YOUR LATEST JEWELRY COLLECTION: WHAT ARE THE INSPIRATIONS BEHIND IT?

Part of the Honey - Moon Collection

The Honey-Moon collection is based on two moons coming together and intertwining around a dazzling gemstone. It represents love, trust and beauty. The perfect gift for yourself or loved one!


YOUR FAVORITE JEWELRY PIECE IN YOUR COLLECTION/ALL YOUR WORK SO FAR AND WHY?

Labradorite Stone



I love everything we create of course, but I do love Labradorite so much! So any of the pieces in gold with Labradorite do it for me. 


MOST WELL KNOWN PERSON/CELEBRITY TO HAVE WORN YOUR JEWELRY TO DATE?
