ABOUT LEO

Leo Black grew up immersed in the mystical beauty of the Catskill Mountains, where nature’s treasures were her first adornments. At five years old, she created her first necklace, stringing sun-bleached animal vertebrae on a shoelace with her mother, a moment that sparked her lifelong connection to the natural world and its timeless stories.

Her father, an antique dealer and genealogist, filled their home with heirlooms—mother of pearl, ancestral photographs, and precious relics from the past. These objects whispered tales of history and magic, igniting Leo's deep love for the stories that every piece of jewelry can tell.

Leo’s designs are a celebration of luxury and longevity, crafted with precious metals, including recycled gold. Her pieces emphasize quality, sustainability, and a playfulness that invites wearers to treasure them for a lifetime. Each eternity band is hand-carved with meticulous care, reflecting the uniqueness of every client’s story and vision.

Since graduating from Pratt Institute, Leo has crafted collections that blend ancient techniques like lost wax casting with a modern, whimsical approach to design. Her inspirations are drawn from her family history, personal rituals, and even the bold, playful energy of her childhood icons, the Spice Girls.

In 2018, Leo moved her studio from Brooklyn to the sunlit horizons of Los Angeles, where she continues to handcraft each piece with care, consciousness, and precision. Her designs, much like the rivers and forests of her youth, are alive with quiet magic—a reminder of the beauty found in both nature and cherished stories passed down through generations.

Every talisman Leo creates invites you to carry a piece of that magic with you, to celebrate the unique beauty of your own journey, and to feel the wonder that first enchanted her as a child.
