About
Hello! I'm Liz.
I've always been drawn to creating.
Whether it was small projects, crafts, or reimagining something old into something new, I've found that creative pursuits bring a sense of calm and meaning that's hard to replicate elsewhere.
Siela Jewelry (pronounced see-eh-la) began in a simple, unexpected way—sitting down to do arts and crafts with my niece. We were playing with a jewelry-making kit when something clicked. I started thinking about pieces I already owned but no longer wore, not because I didn't love them, but because my style had evolved.
That moment sparked the idea to repurpose and reimagine—to take what already existed and transform it into something that felt fresh, modern, and wearable again.
What started as a creative outlet quickly became something more.
The name Siela (pronounced see-eh-la) was inspired by two of my most treasured companions: my niece, Simone, and my dog, Isabella. Interestingly, I later learned that "siela" means "soul" in Lithuanian, a meaning that feels beautifully aligned with a brand rooted in creativity, connection, and pieces designed to be personal.
Every piece is thoughtfully designed and handmade by me in Connecticut. Many designs incorporate repurposed, upcycled, or carefully selected components, giving new life to materials while creating something uniquely beautiful.
Every piece I create is something I would genuinely wear myself. That's my filter. I'm drawn to jewelry that feels expressive but effortless, with just enough detail to stand out without trying too hard. For me, jewelry has always been more than an accessory. It's a way to express personality, celebrate individuality, and add a little joy to everyday life.
I hope each design brings a little beauty, confidence, and individuality to the women who wear it.
Meet Isabella (Izzy)
In July 2025, I rescued Isabella ("Izzy") from Murphy's Paw Rescue in Branford, Connecticut, and she came into my life at exactly the right time.
Like many rescue dogs, Izzy has had her own journey, but from the moment she came home, she brought a kind of unconditional love and companionship that I didn't realize I needed. She has taught me patience, presence, resilience, and more about myself than I ever expected.
Most days, you'll find her curled up in her bed while I'm making jewelry or quietly keeping an eye on me from across the room. She has become my constant companion, my biggest supporter, and a source of joy that never fails to make me smile.
Because of the incredible work Murphy's Paw Rescue does to help animals find loving homes, a portion of every Siela Jewelry purchase is donated back to the organization. Supporting Murphy's Paw allows me to give back to a rescue that changed my life by bringing Izzy into it.
Thank you for helping support both small business and rescue animals with every purchase.
