 DESIGNER BACKGROUND

Aria Thomas has had a love for minerals and the arts for as long as she can remember. Her love for gemstones emerged at the age of three when she attended the largest gem and mineral show in the world in Tucson, Arizona. Growing up, she expressed herself through various mediums of art, including everything from drawing, to painting, and sculpture - leading her to release her first collection of handmade jewelry at the age of ten. By experiencing so many different forms of art at a young age, she learned early on that she was meant to create. 

Aria has always dreamed of becoming a gemologist and her dreams came true when she completed her education from the Gemological Institute of America as a certified Gemologist, CAD Technician, and Jewelry Designer.

Starting her career off as a mineral collector, Aria has always found the world of gemstones enchanting. Amazed at the different rock formations, she wanted to created her jewelry line, Eleux, to showcase the unique nature of natural minerals that isn’t often seen in fine jewelry today. Eleux is based on the concept of "evolving luxury" which aims to redefine the typical perception of precious gemstones in fine jewelry today. 

Eleux jewelry is eye-catching, one-of-a-kind, and vibrant with color. Each piece is unique, allowing each person to find a piece of jewelry that speaks to their own individuality.
