Laura Berrutti

by Erika Jurney on May 18, 2009

Laura Berrutti: I handmade all of the pieces of this shop (no casting). My work is in pure and sterling silver with a bit of 14k or 18k gold in a few pieces. Born and raised in Montevideo, Uruguay, in recent years I lived in El Salvador and Guatemala. In Panahachel, Guatemala, surrounded by the beauty of Lake Atitlan, jeweler Reinhard Zoels inspired my first steps in jewelry making. Currently, I live in Portland, Oregon.

Erika Jurney is the founder of Try Handmade. You can follow her on Twitter and Facebook or learn more about her love of the handmade.
