Welcome! My name is Anna, a Brazilian transplant growing roots in Nashville, TN.  Ela Handcrafted was born from the union of a creative outlet with a social call for conscious consumption. Using Mother Nature as source of inspiration and resources, I'm committed to respecting it by using sustainable practices. Most of the materials I use are second-hand, repurposed, recycled or donated. When I do need to buy new materials, I give preference to small, local suppliers or companies committed to fair trade. Everything I use, from business cards to packaging and shipping, adheres to the same philosophy of respect for our environment and minimal consumption.

"Ela" means she in Portuguese, my native language. It's my tribute to women's creative and regenerative power. Ela's mission is to uplift women through creative collaboration and financial support. With every purchase, 20% is donated to organizations that empower women. Currently, my chosen organization is Thistle Farms, a non-profit in Nashville, TN, that for 25 years has helped women survivors of human trafficking, prostitution, and addiction. Donations will be delivered quarterly.

I also enjoy re-arranging your existing jewelry into something new, like a piece that has sentimental value but no longer fits. Message me for more info.
