I'd like to Introduce Myself, to all my new #followyourdreamers My Name is Lisa "Ila" Rocha, I created #ilaments Jewelry in 1997, but really not until 1999. I've been making jewelry since I was 7, self taught until I took my first metalsmithing course in College. After I learned how to cut, solder and cast jewelry I landed my first Jewelry Job with a local Designer! I will never forget the Day I was at my desk, cutting silver chain as a JOB! I was so excited! During this same year, 97' I got an internship a Getty Museum internship @selfhelpgraphics & that's when I realized I wanted to create a jewelry collection with a cultural flair * ilaments was born! Since 99' I've done Trunk shows, opened my own store, closed it, sold at tradeshows in NYC, LA, Las Vegas & SF. I've had an all Latino U.S. Brands Showroom at the Mart. And have sold ilaments for 18yrs within my community, local boutiques like Fred Segal, Molaa, Autry, Casita Del Pueblo & Mi Vida to name a few. I've had the pleasure of creating jewelry for Morrissey (Eek, Chicana Dream) & a few more peeps too! I'm excited to see what the next chapter of design will bring.
