Laura began her career in jewelry in 1984 with Tiffany & Co. and after five years as a buyer in their New York offices, she opened Laura Pearce, Ltd. in 1989. Since then, Laura's Atlanta based boutique has earned an discerning reputation for offering the South's most extensive collection of classic fine and estate jewelry.

Superior quality, reasonable prices and outstanding customer service are the cornerstones upon which Laura Pearce, Ltd. was built.

Laura has been distinguished nationally and she is regularly featured in Veranda and Southern Accents, and has previously been named by Town & Country as one of the most "Notable Women in Antique Jewelry" in the United States.
