welcome to villa atelier
an ever-evolving garden of intricate & dainty adornments, thoughtfully handmade for the quaint spirit
Villa Atelier is a Latina-Owned business by me, Lianna Villarreal! Villa Atelier is the realm behind my eyes, where the weights of mundanity do not apply. Each piece has been worked on by my own two hands with attention to detail and consideration for environmental impact. Come see how I bring jewelry to life at the intersection of art and science!

Primera Necklace
handmade with gold-filled elements
-
Hypoallergenic
99.99% of people do not experience sensitivity to gold-filled jewelry. Additionally, the material won’t turn your skin green! If you can wear solid gold without any issues, you should have no problems wearing gold-filled jewelry either.
-
Legally Regulated
The term "gold-filled" is a strictly regulated USA industry standard, requiring the metal to consist of at least 5% pure gold by weight. This process involves pressure bonding multiple layers of solid gold with extreme heat over a core of high-quality jeweler's brass.
-
Lifelong
Most high-quality gold-filled pieces resemble high carat gold in appearance, and they can last 10 to 30 years even with daily wear. Due to the thick layer of solid gold bonded to the jewelry's metal core, gold-filled items are designed to be lifetime products for regular jewelry wear.
