Values
Inclusivity, individuality, transparency, sincerity, sustainability, education, and quality.
Inclusivity
All people are welcome at iLAH. Jewelry does not have a gender. You define your relationships and traditions. There is no right or wrong way to get engaged. ilah can make any of her pieces in any size you need.
iLAH Jewelry is proud to be a certified Woman Owned Business Enterprise and a member of both the National and Massachusetts LGBTQ Chambers of Commerce. iLAH is one of the only queer owned jewelry stores in New England.
Sustainability
iLAH is committed to providing the most responsibly sourced gems, diamonds, and metals available. All of iLAH’s pieces are made using recycled metals. We offer gems and diamonds that are Fair Trade, Carbon Neutral, Mined or Made in the USA, recycled, and more.
Quality
It can be difficult in today’s online shopping environment to determine the quality of the goods you are buying. Some companies use words like “gold” to describe gold plated or gold colored pieces. iLAH only makes pieces in SOLID gold, silver, and platinum. This commitment to solid metals means that iLAH’s pieces will last longer and can be repaired, unlike almost all plated jewelry.
Hi, I'm iLAH (she/her)
I grew up in Kansas City, Missouri and started making jewelry in high school. After moving to Boston to attend Boston University, I made Massachusetts my home. I attended the North Bennet Street School in Boston for Jewelry Making and Repair. NBSS is the oldest continuously functioning trade school in America. I am currently on the facility advisory committee for the jewelry program and teach CAD at the school. In 2023, I was honored to receive the school’s Distinguished Alumni Award. After moving to Worcester in 2016, I decided I wanted to move my business here as well. When I’m not working, I enjoy Star Trek, bad reality TV, true crime podcasts, and running.
Making Magic
When I purchased the building at 218 Franklin Street it was a dilapidated garage. It took more than a village to renovate the space into our store and workshop. The amazing retail experience would not have been possible without Heritage Exteriors, Penn Ruderman, John Powers, and Joe Stansky. Special thanks to the creative minds of John Vo, Jessica Sadlier, Bruja the Villain, and Hank Von Hellion for their artwork.
Extra special thanks to Melanie Crandall, Adam Dani, and Jessica Karlinsky for their love and support during this crazy project. This space is dedicated to the memory of my father, Gerhard Cibis.
