Origin
Partnership
Jillian Leigh Jewelry was born from the creative partnership of two friends working in the fashion industry who shared similar experiences with complimentary skills. Working side by side in the office forged a good synergy; they finish each others sentences and have semi-telekinetic conversations.
Simplicity is beauty
We believe in decluttering life. Trimming back the overgrowth to make room for the important things to blossom. Eliminating the unnecessary to allow the necessary to come through. It is an appreciation of the little things, that are actually the big things.
CO-FOUNDER
Jillian Sheedy
Always on the hunt for contemporary and unique styles. Passionate about keeping up with trends and finding that unique "won't find this anywhere else" piece. Her love for fashion has fueled her career in the retail industry, taking her on many adventures around the globe. Now ready for the next adventure- bringing her own style to life and sharing it with the world.
CO-FOUNDER
Velia Amador
Design runs in her family. One look at a space, an object, a design and she can easily deconstruct it, improve it or create something truly unique. Her talent for design eventually found an outlet in crafting jewelry, eventually launching her own custom made to order business. A new challenge and great partnership made it easy to jump into this new venture.
Handmade & Local
We believe in supporting small businesses, and using the highest quality materials and stones to make our jewelry. We carefully curate our materials from other small businesses all over Canada and in the United States. Everything from the 14kt gold findings & chain to our gemstones. Each piece is made to order and handcrafted in our Winnipeg studio.
Artistic Process
We take the latest trends, find a city, country or region we just absolutely adore, then draw inspiration from that union to create our designs. Its more of an artistic journey than the conventional jewelry design process.
Drawing from wanderlust locations around the globe, we design to feed the inner globe trotter. We have captured the ocean blue hues of Greece, classic vintage Tuscan countryside and the romantic sophistication of Paris.
