DESIGNER BACKGROUND

Founded by Aria Thomas, Eleux Jewelry was created from a lifelong passion for gemstones and the arts. Her love for minerals began at the age of three when she attended her first gem and mineral show in Tucson, Arizona. She was instantly captivated by the beauty of colored gemstones. Growing up, Aria spent most of her time in an art studio drawing and painting. She created her first collection of handmade jewelry at the age of ten and it was through these experiences that Aria discovered that her true calling was to create.

Aria’s dream of becoming a gemologist came true when she graduated from the Gemological Institute of America. There, she earned certifications as a Graduate Gemologist, CAD Technician, and Jewelry Designer, setting the foundation for her career in fine jewelry.

Before launching Eleux, Aria’s journey began as a mineral collector, fascinated by the natural beauty and intricate formations of rocks and gemstones. Her fascination with these elements inspired her to create a jewelry line that highlights the raw, unrefined beauty of natural minerals, something rarely seen in traditional fine jewelry. Eleux was born out of Aria’s vision to showcase gemstones in a new light—she calls it "evolving luxury." The brand’s mission is to challenge and redefine the typical perceptions of precious stones in the world of fine jewelry.

At Eleux, every piece tells a story. Bold, vibrant, and entirely unique. Our jewelry is designed to be as individual as the person who wears it. We believe that luxury is not one-size-fits-all; it’s a celebration of personal expression, unique beauty, and the exquisite artistry of nature.
