Fine Jewelry Retail Sales Specialist

Lauren Wolf first opened the doors to the Oakland shop in 2011 as her personal studio, with a small space up front to exhibit her own jewelry and the jewelry and artwork created by a few of her close friends. Naming this new gallery ESQUELETO, which translates to “skeleton” - a nod both to her time spent learning metalsmithing in Mexico and to her penchant for casting bones, teeth and shells for use in her early designs - Lauren soon realized that there was a great demand for handcrafted, creative, ethically sourced fine jewelry.

Since those early days in Temescal Alley, the company has expanded across the state and then the country, opening its second retail location in 2015 in Los Angeles, and launching our comprehensive e-commerce website later that same year. Since then, we’ve added additional brick-and-mortar locations in New York City and Mill Valley and listed many more of our unique items on the  website so that you can shop with us from anywhere.

And most recently, our flagship Oakland shop moved to a bigger + brighter space in the historic Rockridge neighborhood in October 2025!
