The maker
I make all LEONITA jewelry — born among sage and sand in New Mexico, working now in Missoula, Montana.

LEONITA is a project from my heart and soul, and a labor of love.
It is an artistic effort to dream up and create handcrafted jewelry that makes people — all people — feel beautiful, and to evoke strength and beauty from within. Sacred jewelry for gods and goddesses.
I have had the opportunity to learn from some of the best silversmiths, and what I make is their craft carried forward with my own inspiration: the landscapes and the patterns that keep finding their way into my hands. The ocean, the desert and the mountains are the homes I draw from, and their shapes turn up in almost everything I make.
What I am really trying to do is make you feel the power that is already in you.
I also fly — silks, taught and performed from the same studio the jewelry comes out of.
I am taking custom orders, and I would love to meet you and talk about your vision for a bespoke piece. If you write to LEONITA, I am the person who reads it.

Commissions, resizing, a class, a booking, or a question about whether a piece will suit you. It reaches Jenna.
