Stones from the Yuba River. The Yuba is both physically and spiritually nurturing for all of us here. Getting to wear even a sliver this beautifully wild river is special to us and Leora’s Yuba line is beyond the diamond, in our opinion.

All metal is either .925 sterling or .999 fine silver.

A percentage of the profits from each piece sold from this collection will be donated to The South Yuba River Citizen’s League or CHIRP.

|| ABOUT LEORA CORONEL ||

I’ve been a jeweler for much of my adult life, and although it started with me gluing chunks of materials together (shout out to the first feather earring wave in 2005 lol), I felt a deeper pull to the craft of adornment. Following the creative call, I started exploring metalwork and lapidary work, slowly building my skills and experience over the years so that I could more artfully create the visions that I had in my mind. In 2010 I launched Gather Jewelry, which became a solid brand and business in my local community and online. In 2022, I retired Gather and I am continuing to make my hand-forged metal & stone jewelry under my own name.

I live in the Sierra Nevada Foothills of Northern California and it is from this place that I find my inspiration—as well as some of my materials—like locally sourced minerals from the Yuba River. My designs are informed by a lifetime of fascination with ancient battle gear and weaponry, as well as all the stark magic found in the earth and all its kingdoms.
