I’m Leni Silvestre, 

the creative spark behind Ellesse Designs. 

I have a passion for creating things that make everyday life a little bit more fun and pretty. I'm excited to make something for you!

When I was a little girl I would watch my mother, a masterful seamstress, working on her sewing machine. It was fascinating to see her turn paper patterns that came in a packet illustrated with a design to actual clothing for us to wear. As I grew older, fashion, art and design continued to captivate me. 

(My journey into crafting) I’ve been hooked ever since.

Crafting unique, mixed media jewelry isn’t just a creative outlet for me—it’s a therapeutic process that brings me immense joy and peace. Living with mental health challenges, I’ve found that creating beautiful pieces helps me express my emotions and connect with others in a meaningful way. Each piece of jewelry tells a story, infused with love, care, and a touch of magic.

One of my favorite parts of this journey is working on custom orders. There’s something incredibly special about collaborating with you to bring your unique visions to life. Whether it’s a gift for a loved one or a treat for yourself, I’m here to create something that’s truly one-of-a-kind.

Creating jewelry is more than just a hobby for me; it’s a form of expression and healing. I love experimenting with different materials like [mention specific materials, e.g., "resin, metals, and semi-precious stones"], and each piece starts with a spark of inspiration. Whether it’s a stroll through nature, a vibrant cityscape, or a cherished memory, I find inspiration everywhere.

I'm so grateful to each and every one of you for allowing me to share my passion and therapeutic artistic journey. 

Your support not only helps me continue doing what I love but also gives me a sense of purpose and connection. Thank you for stopping by and supporting my tiny business!
