Acosta Jewelers follows a tradition that began over six decades ago in Lima, Peru. Amado Rojas Rodriguez, the uncle of artisan Luis Acosta, started working in the jewelry industry in the 1940's. In 1986 while still in school, 13 year-old Luis studied the art of jewelry design with his father Juan Acosta while helping to run the family jewelry business. As an adult in 1991, Luis opened his own jewelry studio in Lima. Despite its success, Luis relocated to Denver, Colorado.

When Luis arrived in Denver, one of his first purchases was a jeweler's bench. During his first ten years here, he acquired a variety of equipment while honing his skills in jewelry repairs and design. He worked in the production department of a local jewelry company and studied wax carving with some of the top American jewelry designers in the industry. He continues to take jewelry classes in the Denver metro area and around the country to improve his skills and learn new techniques.

While Luis is hard at work managing his Denver store, his uncle Claudio is the owner of Joyeria Acosta in Miraflores, an upscale neighborhood in Lima, Peru. Claudio specializes in Peruvian jewelry including beautiful 18-karat gold Inca designs. Some of his pieces are available at Acosta Jewelers in Denver. Claudio has been selling jewelry in Lima for several years and is Luis' overseas partner. If you decide to vacation in Peru, do not forget to visit his store in Lima.
