Our Story
Recoleta Estate Jewelry is a third-generation, family owned jewelry business that has its roots in Buenos Aires, Argentina. The business began as a jewelry and houseware boutique on Arenales Street in ‘La Recoleta’, a bustling and posh area in the Argentine capital, in the late 1960s. The boutique began to focus more solely on jewelry as time went on as customers continued to rave about the wonderful pieces sourced from local artisans that were found within the shop’s small showcases. Eventually, the family made the move to Los Angeles in the 1980s and worked for the renowned French jewelry store Fred Joaillier on Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills before starting a business they could call their own.
