About Us
The story of Misahara doesn't begin with us. Actually, it begins with you.
How Does Your Jewelry Make You Feel?
Misahara wasn't created to make fancy trinkets or accessories, but instead to ask people a simple question - How does YOUR jewelry make YOU feel? Jewelry has always been about more than flash and style. We see it as a way of expressing a profoundly personal, human understanding that changes from person to person. Nostalgia, heritage, personality, self - Jewelry is more about articulating who you are than broadcasting wealth or status.
Our founder and designer, Lepa Galeb-Roskopp, not only speaks to this creative viewpoint, but honors the things she knows are most meaningful to people today. Her dynamic designs infuse elements of personal style and nuance, often sourced from her world travels and international influences.
Lepa established Misahara in 2014 after years of redesigning jewelry that her husband had gifted to her. While she loved the heartfelt intention behind these gifts, she was always a bit dismayed at how impersonal the pieces felt. After discovering her talent for re-imagining jewelry to tell a personal story, her husband eventually encouraged her to start her own jewelry line and share her creative perspective with the world.
Today, we're here to help you express and articulate yourself through accessible, high-end jewelry that reflects whoever you are in any moment.
Craftsmanship
Beyond our reputation for creative design and emphasis on emotional connection, the Misahara name has become synonymous with craftsmanship. Each piece of Misahara jewelry is hand fashioned, thoroughly inspected, and reviewed to ensure the finished product meets Lepa’s exacting standards. We only source our gems and metals through ethical partners, illustrating our commitment to sustainability and establishing us as stewards for the international communities that influence our designs.
Recognition
Profiled in various, prestigious publications including Town & Country, The Oprah Magazine, Vogue, and Forbes, Misahara’s reputation speaks for itself. We earned consistent praise for our innovations in the couture jewelry niche, as well as our focus on authenticity through our support of the communities inspiring our designs.
But one of our proudest accomplishments is the establishment of the True Cause Foundation, which we launched along with Misahara. The TCF is a nonprofit, working in tandem with global, charitable organizations to provide financial assistance, educational access, and healthcare for children. We donate a percentage of all proceeds to the TCF, along with various other charities.
