If you’ve stumbled across the Lisa Leonard line on social media, you may be wondering what this brand’s all about and why it’s making waves.

So, where is Lisa Leonard from? What goodies does she sell? And what do customers have to say about her jewelry?

We’ll share everything you need to know about Lisa Leonard designs in today’s short guide, starting with:

Founder Lisa Leonard is a self-taught jewelry designer from the central coast of California. She fell in love with jewelry-making during high school, but only after her two sons were born did she decide to get serious about it.

Hoping to be more present in her young sons’ lives, Lisa quit her job as a teacher for special needs children and started to pursue her creations full-time.

Despite not having any formal jewelry training and preferring a “learn as you go” process, Lisa’s designs gained enough attention to launch her homemade jewelry business to success.

Though she opened a shop in downtown San Luis Obispo, fans can place an order for her items online at her website.

The premise behind Lisa Leonard designs is that you’re able to create one-of-a-kind personalized pieces with meaning.

These can commemorate important milestones, birthdays, special phrases you love, and more. Lisa uses birthstones and custom stamping for dates/initials/words to make each item a special, unique gift to cherish.

Lisa Leonard offers a wide variety of products on her website, including purses, wallets, books, lifestyle items for your home, and more.

For our purposes today, we’ll only be comparing her jewelry line, which includes:

Lisa Leonard’s necklace line includes chains and pendants made of bronze, pewter, sterling silver, and gold.

Prices start as low as $39.99 for sterling silver pieces and go as high as $429.99 for 14k gold items, such as this necklace faith necklace:

You’ll also find necklace sets, which contain a necklace for you and a special loved one:

Lisa Leonard designs dainty, chunky, and stackable rings in different metal options and price points.

You can score an affordable Lisa Leonard ring in yellow gold plating for just $39.99. And designs featuring birthstones in sterling silver range between $79.99 and $99.99.

However, a 14k gold ring with three small birthstones costs a staggering $1,429.99. And a 10k gold ring with your name and your spouse’s will run you $759.99.

So while many rings fall under the $100 price point, you’ll have to save up if you want high-end pieces. If these aren’t in your budget, you’ll need to sacrifice on design, metal quality, or customization options to get there.

Options for LL bracelets include cuffs, bangles, charm bracelets, monogram emblems, bar bracelets, and more. The collection contains an assortment of metal types and prices to choose from.

Just keep in mind that Lisa Leonard’s bracelets only allow for customization at the higher end of the price range. Designs on the lower end are sold as-is without the ability to personalize.

So you can purchase bracelets for as low as $49.99 without personalization. But if you want to customize a thin sterling cuff, for example, you’re allowed to add up to three names. And then the price point shifts to at least $99.99.

LL earring designs vary in price, style, and metal finishes. And unlike other accessories in her lineup, customers cannot customize or personalize their earrings.

Now that you know more about Lisa Leonard’s designs, you’re probably wondering how this company stacks up to Blush and Bar.

Here’s what we found:

You may have noticed that handcrafted Lisa Leonard design pieces come with a much higher price tag than her as-is items. However, even her standard rings, necklaces, and earrings cost more than ours at Blush and Bar.

Another factor that contributes to the overall Lisa Leonard price tag is the metal you choose. Though her brass-plated pieces are more affordable, they still cost more than Blush and Bar items.

As soon as you go to the 10k or 14k gold realm, you could end up paying over $100 at Lisa Leonard. For such casual designs, this may not be in everyone’s budget.

On the other hand, all Blush and Bar pieces are made using .925 sterling silver, which is much higher quality than brass. You also won’t pay extra for a rose gold or yellow gold finish.

We coat all our pieces in a thick, double layer of gold vermeil to ensure they shine and never discolor. The vermeil process beats gold plating hands down when it comes to quality and durability.

All Blush and Bar pieces are made to last. To prove that, we offer a 100-year lifetime warranty and a 60-day money-back guarantee if you’re not 100% satisfied.

This means you won’t have to worry about your Blush and Bar jewelry discoloring over time or losing its luster.

You won’t find this kind of guarantee with Lisa Leonard designs.

Each piece only comes with a three-year limited warranty, which doesn’t include wear and tear damage. If her team says your piece falls under its warranty, you’ll be entitled to refurbishing (just twice), a replacement of missing stones, and repair or complete replacement.

At Blush and Bar, we want you to wear your jewelry as often as you like -- we’re not worried about it turning or ruining and you shouldn’t be either! In the slim chance something does happen to your fave piece, we’ll replace it for you no questions asked.

According to the Lisa Leonard Designs BBB business profile (1326 Chorro St., San Luis Obispo, CA), the company earns an A+ rating for its long history in business (14 years!) and the way it handles customer complaint information. These rank high in the business community.

However, when you search BBB for customer reviews, Lisa Leonard only scores 2 out of 5 stars, which doesn't bode well for customer satisfaction. Many customers report delivery issues, status update/account errors, and problems with their Lisa Leonard jewelry.

But guess what? Blush and Bar customers can’t stop raving about their pieces online. We have hundreds of perfect, 5-star reviews for gorgeous rings like these:

While Lisa Leonard’s handcrafted designs and personalized pieces mean you can create special items unique for you and your loved ones, you will pay more to do so (and sometimes pay more for lesser quality metal).

Not only that, Lisa’s pieces come with such a limited warranty that you’re almost deterred from wearing them too often, which is definitely not the case with our accessories.

Our budget-friendly prices for high-quality jewelry, killer ring deals, free shipping, and lifetime warranty all explain why our customers love us and return again and again.
