East African born and bred, we’re all about creating effortless, everyday jewellery that you’ll love for years to come. The kind of modern heirlooms that are made to last, sustainably crafted in 100% recycled sterling silver.
“Honestly, I thought about mass producing Elleca jewellery abroad several times, because it would just be “easier”.
But then I keep reminding myself why I want to produce in Africa,
in Kenya 🇰🇪.
We’re so skilled & talented as a continent, that I wouldn’t need to go anywhere else for production.
The ability to work with local artisans has honestly been a gift. There’s just something so special and unique about handmade pieces. My dream is to bring African art in the form of jewellery to the world, on our terms this time 😉.” – founder Anita Elleca CEO
Our vision is to empower local artisans with sustainable business opportunities for them to showcase their craftsmanship to the world.
