Our Journey
♡ Elena
GIA Gemologist & Owner of Esprit Creations
I spent much of my childhood playing on a small private beach in New
England. The background of my life was colorfully painted by sunrises
and sunsets along the vast horizon of sky and sea.
In this wonderland of Mother Nature I often wandered along the shoreline
while collecting sea glass, shells, and unique pebbles; Treasures from far
away lands of times gone by, had tumbled and washed ashore through the
ocean’s ever-changing tides.
These small organic gems inspired the story of my life.
After many years with a family of my own, my life’s journey brought me to
India. There, we immersed ourselves in the spiritually rich culture of music,
yoga, dance, arts and crafts.
Watching Indian artisans with antique tools in their hands delicately create
bright masterpieces of jeweled art from rough gemstones and metals
intrigued me.
I began choosing some of their most attractive and unique jewelry designs
to help the artisans, and to distribute these treasures wholesale throughout
America.
We then returned to Boston and Esprit Creations was born in 1989. I
wanted our name to reflect the spirit of our work, our eclectic style, and the
essence of our intention; To offer uniquely meaningful pieces of wearable
art that celebrate empowerment, confidence, and wellbeing that not only
help independent retailers, but also gives back to the artisans.
’Esprit’ means ‘Spirited’ in French. Esprit Creations began from one
suitcase filled with selected treasures from the Indian artisan’s hand-
crafted jewelry pieces.
From my childhood pastime of finding unique sea glass and stones, I had
developed a natural ability to select the best quality and richest color ofgenuine gemstones from the earth. I decided to become a certified
gemologist (GIA) to reinforce my work and my love of natural treasures
and gems.
As my three children grew up I became more involved in going on road
trips to sell our Esprit Creations jewelry line. While meeting store owners to
show them our jewelry, I observed what jewelry they were most excited
about, and what sort of gemstones they preferred.
Inspired by our customers and the uplifting energy of the gemstones, I
began creating my own jewelry designs in order to offer the best stones
and styles that would sell quickly for them. I worked with the same
artisans in India, showing them my ideas for making more attractive, yet
affordable pieces for my customers.
I’ve also been traveling around Italy connecting with my family roots. The
picturesque landscapes and romantic ambience penetrates my very
being. The dramatic beauty in both ancient cultures of Italy and India has
inspired a renaissance within me that is expressed into our jewelry
designs.
My daughter, Jamuna creates designs that are uniquely detailed with
engravings imbued with the spirit of empowerment. Having immersed
herself in the culture of yoga, music and travel, her style and
conscientiousness has brought Esprit Creations jewelry to another level in
aesthetic essence. Our customers adore her designs, and their customers
can’t get enough of them. By working together as a mother-daughter
design team, our jewelry designs appeal to multi-generations.
We established a wholesale-only website to make the buying experience
pleasant, fast, and easy for store owners. It is our passion to keep evolving
with new designs to make your store stand out with exclusive pieces.
Esprit Creations is grateful for our good fortune. We love to give back to
share our blessings. In appreciation, we support care projects for
children’s education and animal welfare in India and America.We honor our artisans whom we have worked closely with for over 35
years. We celebrate their holidays and attend their family gatherings with
them. We respect, grow and work in harmony together. From our Artisans,
to Esprit Creations, to our customers, we build a bridge of trust by helping
each other prosper and evolve.
As the world is rapidly changing, it is increasingly more important to us at
Esprit Creations to keep our business responsibly sourced, consciously
made and ethically distributed.
As a woman-owned and operated business, Jamuna and I, along with our
office and online team of dedicated ladies, believe in offering integrity in
our jewelry line along with personalized, friendly service to you, our
customers and friends. We love to see how our customers are evolving with us!
