THE HANDMADE PROCESS
This classic earring style is handcrafted personally by artist Lisa Ramos in her Clayton, California studio. Lisa’s design philosophy is focused on creating high quality jewelry pieces you can wear for years to come.
What makes a MONOLISA jewelry piece unique? Each earring jacket is one of a kind and not casted for mass production. The handmade design is an extensive process of sawing metal pieces, hand sculpting, soldering, hammering, texturing, sanding, buffing, multiple hours of heat hardening the Argentium silver to increase tarnish resistance properties, stone setting, and polishing. MONOLISA pieces are not mass produced or sold in retail stores and can only be purchased on this website or at a show. The MONOLISA Jewelry Collection has been featured at fine art juried shows in California.
What Is Argentium® Silver?
Argentium® silver is a premium silver alloy that is more pure than traditional sterling silver. Earlier Argentium® silver formulations contained 93.6% pure silver, and in 2024 the alloy was updated to 94% purity.
California artist Lisa Ramos uses Argentium® silver in select MONOLISA handmade jewelry designs because of its durability, brightness, tarnish resistance, and refined appearance.
Argentium® silver is also valued for being hypoallergenic. The Argentium® silver used in MONOLISA designs is made in the USA and ethically sourced.

Traditional Sterling Silver
MONOLISA uses high-quality traditional sterling silver for ear nuts and necklaces, made from 90% pure silver blended with alloys to increase strength and durability. Unlike plated jewelry, solid sterling silver will not wear down over time, making it a long-lasting and dependable material for everyday wear. It is also hypoallergenic and valued for its clean, bright appearance, with all sterling used in MONOLISA designs made in the USA.
Learn More About Gemstones
Gemstones bring color, meaning, and individuality to MONOLISA designs. California artist Lisa Ramos is especially drawn to the reflection, elegance, and timeless beauty gemstones add to jewelry.

Mission & Inspiration
My mission is to design beautifully handmade limited-edition pieces that add a touch of elegance to any personal style. Each design is an extension of who I am.
