Rafia Jewelry

Rafia was born in Rangoon, Burma and has been living in Southern California since coming to the US. She has been designing jewelry since 1999. She started with one original design which she sold right off herself and to TV Soaps “General Hospital” and “Port Charles”. Shortly thereafter, she made a sample line and showed it to Christie Martin from Nina Segal at Fred Segal’s (Santa Monica), which became the very first store to carry the line.

Rafia enjoys being creative and loves designing jewelry. The jewelry is hand made in Los Angeles using semi-precious and precious stones with sterling silver, 14k gold filled and some base metal. When customers place an order they should specify which metal they prefer. Among the wire wrap beaded jewelry is also a line of personalized jewelry with initials, charms, inspirational phrases and words. The entire collection is timeless, feminine and delicate. It has the feel and appearance of fine jewelry and meant to be worn every day.
