Jevela began as a spark—an idea that kept growing. I first learned the art of jewelry while interning for a designer, then deepened my skills through jewelry-making classes. Watching my sketches transform into real pieces reminded me that with focus and persistence, anything is possible.

At a crossroads in my career, I chose to dive in fully. I quit my job, left my apartment, and set off on a three-month backpacking journey through Southeast Asia—a leap that reshaped my life. Along the way, I discovered that jewelry was more than craft; it was a vessel connecting me to people, places, and purpose.

Today, as a Graduate Gemologist and founder of Jevela, I see jewelry as a reflection of life’s journey. Each moment—like each gemstone—carries lessons, growth, and transformation. Just as pressure forms a diamond, our experiences shape who we are. That is the true essence of Jevela: gems for your journey.
