Leah Alexandra Jewelry was born from a lifelong obsession with gemstones. Originally from Toronto, Leah spent a summer on the island of Nantucket, Massachusetts, working at an oyster bar saving every tip and sketching jewelry ideas between shifts. She had no idea that those sun-soaked days and quiet moments of inspiration would become the spark for something so much bigger.
After moving to Vancouver on Canada’s west coast, she traded in her savings for tools and supplies, setting up a small workspace at her kitchen table. With her background in design and metalsmithing, Leah launched her brand in 2006. What started as a one-woman show soon evolved into a global brand with a loyal following around the world.
LAJ has since been featured in internationally recognized publications such as Vogue, Elle, InStyle, and many others, and has been worn by celebrities including Jessica Alba, Reese Witherspoon, and Olympic gold medalist Tessa Virtue.
