Beautiful Burma
The mention of Burma, the country now known as Myanmar, never fails to evoke a spark of interest in any gem lover’s eye. Burmese rubies, sapphires and jade in fine qualities are prized the world over. I thought I’d share some of LALTA’s Burmese beauties.
Bohemian Chic
With fall and winter in mind, I’m finding inspiration in organic shapes and materials. I’ve been laying and mixing colors, shapes and textures for the ultimate palette.
Jewelry is often only as strong as the sum of its parts. Here are some #simplyLALTA building blocks that epitomize Bohemian chic!
Juicy Fruit
Summer is one of my favorite times of the year. I eagerly await its arrival with visions of luscious summer fruits dancing in my head. In anticipation, I thought to share my summer gem inspirations. Feast your eyes until we can taste them!
Ancient Carvings
As a gem whisperer, hand-carved stones have always been one of my specialties. Ancient carvings from Egypt to Mughal India and beyond are an endless source of inspiration to me. The refinement of the art of carving in ancient cultures is a study of sophisticated and elegant lapidary skills.
Spring Fever!
I have spring fever.
With the passing of midwinter, I look forward to the hopeful days ahead, and the emergence of a fresh season of visionary jewelry.
Soft Power: Hexagons
Hexagons are everywhere in nature, from large planets like Saturn all the way down to microscopic compounds. As a symbol, I ascribe significance to this naturally occurring shape. A little bit geometric, a little bit round. And a lot of power!
The New Noir
Cozy up to extraordinary gems from around the world. The results make for striking dances of light and shadow.
Diamond Harvest
Illuminate the way into Fall—and beyond—with sculptural coral, antique diamond cuts, and intricate Burmese jadeite.

Firestarter
Red is the color of blood, life, death, passion, and love. Mythologized, demonized, celebrated: every shade from scarlet to crimson conveys an inscrutable allure.

Go Green!
Emeralds have an elegant and timeless quality, represented in jewelry since antiquity and prized by royalty who often associate emeralds with the lushness of paradise and as symbols of power and wealth.
Mexican, Australian & Ethiopian Opals
The fiery glow of opals captivates me. I especially love that they are sophisticated and dramatic, yet versatile.
