About Me:: amber leilani melds the ancient art of bead weaving with a modern aesthetic.

Putting the focus on pattern and keeping the lines clean and contemporary give each piece a bold, unique look.

amber leilani designs and handcrafts each piece in her New Orleans studio, weaving each tiny bead one at a time. When each pendant, bracelet, or earring is finished, they are anchored to sterling or gold filled findings.

Her vintage and gemstone lines are modern and wearable.

Each design is bold in color and pattern. No two pieces are ever alike and many are truly one of a kind
