| Laurie Mika |
She is just like a pearl - made from grit but full of grace.
Laurie Mika‘s inspiration is a combination of iconic females throughout history & art. Her extensive travels to Israel, Mexico & Australia are reflected in her bohemian jewelry pieces, each one a unique narrative derived from icons of power, prayer, protection and beauty that translate to universal cross-cultural beliefs. For the wearer they become rosary like amulets to inspire enlightenment, expression, and creativity.
