Welcome to xoBKLA & thank you for visiting. Designing and making jewelry has been a 25+ year dream that has evolved and manifested. It is a combination of my lifelong love for animals, thick sterling jewelry, and helping others.
Being a voice for animals, advocating for issues from the importance of spay and neuter to buying cruelty free products not tested on animals, is important to me. Donating, volunteering, Trap-Neuter-Returning community cats, fostering, and adopting are things I do to help. Every rescue, sanctuary, or charity is in need of donations to continue their lifesaving work, especially now with our huge animal crisis.
An idea came to me. What if I combine my love for animals, design, and jewelry? What if each and every piece sold donated to help non profit charitable organizations? And this is how xoBKLA came to be.
People of all ages all around the world love animals. Whether you dress up, down or have pet hairs on your clothes – you will look good, feel good, and be proud to support the people helping animals. Each piece of xoBKLA jewelry is individually artisan cast and finished by hand in Downtown Los Angeles (DTLA). These timeless designs will never go out of style and they look good on everyone.
As a reminder, don’t forget to turn your ring to face others and create conversation about animals and the charity you supported with your purchase. Then, turn it back to face you and feel like you are wearing a friend on your finger. We know you will be happy with your purchase, but if there is a reason you are not, contact us and we will make it right.
This is only the beginning of something bigger. We have so many designs, animals, and sculptures already made which will be added soon. If you are looking for something in particular, please let us know. We just might have it, and if not, we can make it.
Love & Light,
xoElise
