Born and raised in Mexico City, Laila learned to work with silver as a child playing in her father's workshop. Daughter of a well-known silver-smith, Laila now continues the Contreras tradition of hand stamped silver jewelry, using traditional Mexican designs to create elegant, one-of-a-kind pieces.
