I share occasional updates from my studio, upcoming California art shows, and the stories behind my one-of-a-kind jewelry and leather designs — written personally by me.
Each elegant letter necklace is as unique as our customers. The one of a kind detailed pendants are made with the finest silver, Argentium. The signature style letter pendant necklace is the perfect personal jewelry piece for yourself, a bestie, or for gifting someone special.
Each handmade pendant design is a process of sawing metals, shaping, stamping, soldering, and polishing to create a high quality piece you can wear for years to come. The pendant is personally hand crafted by designer, Lisa Ramos in Clayton, California.
MONOLISA artisan made jewelry is not mass produced or sold in retail stores. Pieces are only available exclusively at this online store or at a MONOLISA show.

Argentium silver, the finest silver, is used to design this handmade jewelry piece. Argentium silver contains 93.6% pure silver and is more pure than sterling silver. It is seven times more tarnish resistant than traditional sterling silver and is nickel free.
Argentium silver is brighter and whiter than other precious metals, making it simply beautiful. It is hypoallergenic and is also known to fight infections and is associated with antibiotics along with skin repair. The Argentium silver MONOLISA uses is made in the USA and is ethically sourced.
