A future in design was imminent for Nicaragua born Coralia Leets. Inspired by her grandmother’s beautiful jewelry and knack for style, the designer launched her eponymous collection in 2001.

Clean lines and vibrant colors are at the forefront of her collection, creating a signature look that is both timeless and sophisticated.

Jewelry is as much her passion as it is her business. Coralia knows exactly what women want to wear and she delivers it every season.
