RETROUVAI Jewelry

LOS ANGELES - Designed by Kirsty Stone, Retrouvaí fine jewelry is handmade in Los Angeles. Each finished piece is carefully constructed, imbued with the care of time-honored techniques.

This notion of wistful affection for time gone by speaks to Kirsty’s love of vintage treasures, but also to the idea that jewelry is passed down through the generations, picking up lifetimes of stories along the way.
