Leiva by Mandy Carroll-Leiva
Mandy’s one-of-a-kind jewelry collection draws inspiration from the exquisite materials with which she works. She is ever searching for new and stunning combinations that, once realized as finished work and placed on the body, will empower it’s wearer with a sense of beauty, strength and femininity.
Her jewelry making career began more than 10 years ago and has extended from Philadelphia, PA to Brooklyn, NY and now to Chester, CT where Mandy opened a beautiful studio and launched her collection under the name leiva.
Mandy graduated with honors from the University of the Arts in Philadelphia with a BFA in jewelry/crafts. She then relocated to New York City where she worked for five years as a production assistant, then as production manager for the infinitely creative and fabulous jewelry company, Tenthousandthings.
