Jewelry Making

​

Elena started designing and making jewelry at the end of 2019 while living and working in Melbourne, Australia. Apart from her role as an architectural designer, she worked as an apprentice with Charles Sandford Woodworking, but was surprised by the hundreds of pounds of off-cuts that were intrinsic to furniture companies around the world. These off-cuts were beautiful pieces of wood from all over the world, so she decided to give them new life as pieces of wearable art.

​

Elena knows the story behind each piece of wood, both where it came from and what the rest of it became. These untold storied were the motivation behind her first business.
