  • CUSTOM PROJECTS EVENT

    Please join us for a custom design event in the Los Angeles store on Saturday, May 9th with Lauren Wolf and our custom projects manager, Kate Reboli! They will be on hand to meet with clients looking to pursue bespoke jewelry projects of all kinds. We'll have a library of loose stones to choose from, including some very special new stones that we just picked up at the Tucson Gem Show. Or bring your own heirloom materials to work with! No project is too big or small. Come meet with us and design your dream piece. As an added bonus, we'll be unveiling the latest one-of-a-kind designs from our in-house Lauren Wolf Jewelry collection, fresh off the bench - you might just find that we've already created your dream ring!

    Bites and beverages will be provided. We'll be setting aside some time for walk-ins, but reserving your appointment in advance is highly recommended. Reserve your appointment today!

OAKLAND REVIEWS

  • "ESQUELETO is my go to place - a place of serenity and beauty. Recently my daughter and I were looking for a ring to commemorate her graduation from medical school. Laur was fabulous - she was insightful and helped guide us through the many different options. We settled on a piece that will be treasured throughout our lives."

  • "My partner and I came in looking for some engagement ring ideas, not sure we were going to find. The ESQUELETO team were wonderful in answering our questions and supporting us through this very exciting, fun, and personal process. Never once did I feel like they were trying to over sell me. It was clear from the beginning that they were all there to support us in finding the ring that was just right. Thank you!"
