Floor Lead, Operations (New Store Opening)

Ana Luisa is a Brooklyn-based e-commerce jewelry brand with a simple, but clear-cut idea that high-quality jewelry shouldn't cost the planet. We believe that how we create our pieces matters just as much as why people wear them and that luxury shouldn't be defined so narrowly and designed for so few. We design, craft, and deliver exceptional everyday pieces for everyone, priced fairly, and produced ethically to create a positive impact for both people and the planet.
