About

Stephanie Leigh has always been creative spirit. Born a quirky, left-handed artist, her passion for art has only grown throughout her life. As an adventurous child, she found comfort and self-expression through writing and creating — a desire that has shaped her artistic journey.

Stephanie’s dedication to sustainability is at the heart of her work. Each design is guided by thoughtful questions: What can be reused? What can be repurposed? How can this be multifunctional?

Her love for color became a defining element of her style while studying at the Savannah College of Art and Design. There, she developed a strong focus on composition and color theory — both of which shine through in her jewelry designs.

Every piece of Stephanie Leigh Jewelry is crafted by hand, a reflection of her commitment to meaningful creation. She carefully selects materials like beads from recycled bottles, repurposed leather from scrap remnants, and upcycled brass to ensure her designs are both beautiful and sustainable.

For Stephanie, creating is more than just a craft — it’s a meditative practice infused with intention. From thoughtful bead patterns to carefully curated color gradients, each piece tells a story straight from her heart, reflecting her artistic spirit in every detail.

Personal Statement

Designing jewelry that evokes deep emotion is incredibly important to me. When someone says, “This feels like a hug from a necklace,” I know I’ve succeeded in creating a meaningful, tactile connection between the wearer and their adornment.

I’m passionate about working with recycled and upcycled materials. Transforming forgotten pieces into something beautiful and inspiring brings me immense joy.

Much of my inspiration comes from my grandmother, lovingly known as “Mega.” As a single mother raising five children, she remained a dedicated artist, constantly crafting and painting with repurposed materials. Her resourcefulness taught me the value of reusing everything possible — a lesson that continues to guide my creative process.

Mega also encouraged me to embrace my creativity. Every weekend, she’d take me thrifting or bargain shopping on a tight budget, and we’d spend the afternoon crafting together. Her connection to her creative side showed me how art can be a safe, healthy way to express emotions and find comfort — a gift I carry with me in every piece I design.
