MIA LARA at Moondance Jewelry Gallery

Mia Lara

The Mia Lara artisan jewelry collection is designed by Mia Lara Nathanson, a designer who views personal adornment as a quintessential form of expression. Designing since she was a young girl, Mia began her start in jewelry business by setting up roadside stands in her hometown with her beaded jewelry and homemade cookies. After attending Columbia University and receiving her Bachelor of Arts degree in Sociology and Anthropology, Mia went on to work in the Fashion and Finance Industries. During her five years in the corporate world, Mia worked arduously to realize her dream of founding a company by devoting all her spare time to her creative vision and selling her jewelry at local New York Markets on weekends. Shortly after, she dove further into her business to make it a full-time endeavor, traveling to India where she spent time cultivating design concepts and sourcing stones. The inception of each design in her Mia Lara collection springs from a spontaneous gravitation toward a stone, allowing the process to organically evolve from a visual feast on natural splendor.
