About Us

Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord. Colossians 3:23

LaLa Line is a Houston-based brand rooted in a lifelong love for jewelry. At the heart of LaLa Line is a deep admiration for pearls, celebrated for their natural uniqueness, iconic history, and versatility in style. Each LaLa piece is handmade in small batches using sterling silver and gold filled materials that are hypoallergenic and anti-tarnish, with every pearl thoughtfully hand-sourced. Lala Line is known for expressive, layered jewelry that creates a story.

WHY PEARLS?

Each pearl is inherently unique, as it is an organic gemstone, formed by living organisms. No two pearls are ever the same, and their subtle variations are embraced as part of their character. These natural imperfections are what make pearls truly one of a kind.

Their formation symbolizes how something that begins as an irritant can become a treasure, a reminder of faith and God’s ability to turn the unexpected into something beautiful.

Historically iconic, pearls are among the earliest gemstones used in jewelry, dating back to ancient Egypt. They have adorned royalty, held cultural significance across generations, and continue to remain central to the fashion world today.

LaLa Line draws inspiration from this rich history while celebrating the modern versatility of pearls, creating pieces designed to move effortlessly from everyday wear to the most formal occasions.

THE DESIGNER

Lillyana Stefanakis is the jewelry designer and creator of LaLa Line. With meticulous care and attention to detail, she carefully selects each material and ensures that every piece is handcrafted to the highest standards of quality. Inspired by her grandmother, Mimi, who has a passion for jewelry design, Lillyana's love for jewelry was sparked at a young age. She fondly remembers sketching designs alongside Mimi and accompanying her to meetings with jewelers, where she watched Mimi’s creations come to life. These early experiences shaped Lillyana's unique approach to design, allowing her to create pieces that empower individuals to express their style. Nicknamed 'Lala' as a little girl because of her constant smile and joyful spirit, Lillyana would often sketch designs in her notebooks, dreaming of bringing them to life one day. At 8 years old, she began learning the art of jewelry making, and by 13 she officially launched LaLa Line. She derives immense joy from creating beautiful pieces and is honored to share her creations with others.
