The Laurel Legacy
Measured in generations
laurel 1933 is named for Laurel Carson, born in 1933. She was smart, elegant, and never without a little bit of sparkle. Every piece we make is made in her spirit.
The Laurel
An emblem of honour
In ancient Greece and Rome, a crown of laurel leaves was given to victors, poets and those whose achievements deserved to be remembered. It was never just an ornament. It was a way of saying this moment matters.
It is fitting, then, that it was her name. Fine jewelry has always done the same work: marking the moments that deserve to be honoured, and carrying them forward.
Named for Laurel Carson
Born in 1933, Laurel went to law school while raising two girls, at a time when very few women studied law at all.
She loved jewelry, and all things smart and elegant, always with a little bit of sparkle. She knew that what you wear can carry who you are, and that the right piece is never just decoration.
The house carries her name and the year she was born. It is a reminder, every day, of the woman we make our pieces for: brilliant, graceful, and quietly unforgettable.
Small by intention
laurel 1933 is an independent high jewelry house in Brentwood, Los Angeles, working one piece and one person at a time.
There is no production line and no catalogue to choose from. Every commission begins with a conversation and a single extraordinary stone, and every piece is set and finished by hand. That way of working takes longer. We would not have it any other way.
What we hold to
Four promises
One at a time
Each piece is made individually, for one person, and never repeated.
The stone leads
We begin with a single extraordinary stone and let the design follow it.
By hand
Every piece is set and finished by hand in gold or platinum.
To be inherited
Made to be worn now, and passed on later, with its story intact.
Smart, elegant, and always with a little bit of sparkle.For Laurel Carson · Born 1933
