Leandra Mar Jewelry

is run by me, Leah Manak. I am an environmentalist, creative, and songwriter. My silversmithing path started in the summer of 2016 with a lesson from a lifelong mentor and friend. Since then, I have been building my skills independently in my home .

I am an environmental scientist working on projects that focus on land-use change, deforestation, and water resource conservation. One of my aspirations is to continue to share my passion with the natural world through each handmade piece of jewelry. As we continue in a world of fast-fashion and epic consumerism, I hope to create pieces that will last and that will be loved beyond a lifetime.
