Duchessa offers free-spirited, original handmade jewelry designs by designer Ilana Leah. Always handmade, never mass produced, each piece is assembled with utmost care in the designer's studio in New York. Handmade jewelry designs utilize genuine semi-precious stones, pearls and crystals with plated metal accents, focusing on texture and movement. The pieces are dynamic and lively, ranging from delicate details to bold statement pieces. Duchessa's roots are in craft fairs and the handmade movement, and we strive to offer every customer the personal interaction and warmth that has been part of who we are from the start.
