Renata Rubio 92.5 ā Handcrafted Sterling Silver Jewelry
About Us
It all started in 1996 with $400, a lot of hope, doubt, and stubbornness.
Laura Renata Rubio grew up in a single-mom household, where she learned the value of hard work and dedication. But traditional jobs werenāt for herāshe even got fired from her first job at age 14 by her own mom. Thatās when she realized she had two choices: become self-employed or risk being homeless. She wisely chose the former.
When Laura first arrived in Taxco, Mexico, she thought her $400 investment in silver jewelry would open doors. But in a town where soap operas and soccer games take precedence, she quickly learned she had to earn her place. She returned to Denver with her small collection, sold most of it, reinvested, andāmore importantlyābuilt lifelong relationships with artisan families.
More than 20 years later, those same families are now passing down their skills to a new generation, continuing a tradition of creativity, quality, and exceptional craftsmanship.
More Than JewelryāA Connection to Tradition and Family
Walking into these artisan workshops is like stepping into someoneās home. A baby might be sleeping in a hammock, a mother nursing her child while answering the phone, and a grandmother sweeping the sidewalk. The TV is likely on, playing soccer or a telenovela, and when lunchtime comes, the shop closes, and everyone gathers to share a meal.
At Renata Rubio 92.5, family is at the heart of everything we do. The deep, personal connections weāve built with our artisan families mirror the meaningful relationships we create with our customers.
We believe in a fair and complete processāone where everyone benefits. Like the links of a chain, every person in the journey is essential:
The artisans who pour their skill and passion into every piece.
The customers who appreciate the beauty and craftsmanship of handmade sterling silver jewelry.
The business that bridges both worlds, ensuring quality, sustainability, and fairness.
At Renata Rubio 92.5, every creation is more than just jewelry; it is a commitment to ethical craftsmanship, lasting beauty, and a connection between skilled artisans and those who cherish their work.
