Washington High School for the Performing and Visual Arts in Dallas and obtaining a painting degree from Rhode Island School of Design, Larisa moved to New York and fell into the fashion world. She has contributed to many great brands as an apparel designer - dedicating almost a decade at Ralph Lauren followed by stints at Juicy Couture, Fossil, Uniqlo and Jenni Kayne. After a move to Los Angeles, Larisa took a trip to India with a gem dealer and was inspired to turn her art and design experience to jewelry. Larisa Laivins jewelry is made by hand in Los Angeles by Larisa and a team of skilled craftsmen.
