I’ve been creating handcrafted jewelry for over 20 years, guided by a lifelong love of artistry, texture, and the quiet magic found in beautiful details. What began as a creative curiosity has grown into a deeply personal craft — one rooted in both tradition and self-expression.

The name Leona Violet is inspired by two very important women in my life: my grandmothers.

My Romanian grandmother Leona was a woman well ahead of her time — strong, independent, and unapologetically herself. She loved all things sparkly, and I like to think my own love of shimmer and shine comes directly from her.

My grandmother Violet, though she went by Audrey, nurtured my creative spirit. My childhood weekends were spent at her home painting, crafting, and learning the joy of making something with my hands — moments that laid the foundation for the artist I would become.

Today, every piece I create is thoughtfully designed and handcrafted in small batches, inspired by nature, organic textures, and timeless beauty. I believe jewelry should feel personal, wearable, and enduring — something that becomes part of your everyday story.

Each design carries intention, care, and a bit of inherited magic — made to be worn, loved, and passed on.
