Pearl Safety Pin Brooch

Launched in 2009 by sisters Satya and Annah Stewart with long time friend Rachel Loren, Loren Stewart is a contemporary minimalist fine jewelry brand that strives to produce a blend of polished preppy and raw punk pieces. The Los Angeles-based brand's design, which focuses on modern art and synth pop retro nostalgia, was inspired by the "sights and sounds of the 80s." Every collection features a mix of staple and statement pieces, allowing wearers to own their individuality in unique ways, and be their own stylist. Their brand started out as an upcycled collection that was a "love letter to the idiosyncrasies and diversity that define Los Angeles," drawing inspiration from vintage gold jewelry.

Loren Stewart's main principle is sustainability. Their goal is to produce exquisite jewelry of the highest caliber while lessening the negative environmental effects of the industry. Keeping the majority of their products local and reducing the waste that their business produces are the cornerstones of their efforts to be sustainable. Collaborating closely with their Los Angeles and Italy-based manufacturers, and understanding every aspect of their processes is how Loren Stewart commits to those efforts.
