Story

Leanne martin founder + designer

I graduated from San Diego State University in 2017 with a BA in applied design with an emphasis in metalsmithing and jewelry design. Taking inspiration from the natural beauty of our ocean and marine life here in San Diego as well as around the world, all my pieces are meticulously designed and expertly handcrafted with nods to sea life and ocean textures. As an avid scuba diver, and one who holds a deep love and reverence for the natural world, I support several charitable environmental organizations by donating a portion of profits from every online sale. These organizations hold the same values and beliefs that are so important to me: caring for the needs of our marine environment, conservation of our natural resources, and programs that empower and educate others on the preservation of our oceans.

Handmade from Start to Finish

I am behind every part of the production process, starting from design development to the forming, fabricating, soldering and enameling of my jewelry; to hand building, throwing and the firing of my ceramic objects + pouring of my candles; and all the way to shipping and packaging. I completely handcraft all of my jewelry and ceramic objects, with ethically sourced gemstones and materials. One of a kind limited run collections and forms are originally conceived of and created by me, Leanne.

Sustainably-Powered

Ludvik HandCrafted was launched in 2020 with a vision to create uniquely beautiful, sustainable jewelry and objects rooted in American crafts and hand fabrication.

I take pride in using recycled metals as much as possible and hand selecting each and every gemstone. As the vast majority of these works consist of raw metal that is transformed by hand, this means that almost all finished jewelry, including earwires and clasps, are made from this recycled sterling silver. From the metal and fabrication process to recycled packaging and ethically sourced gemstones, I am committed to reducing my environmental footprint while providing you one of a kind show stopping pieces. 

USA Manufactured

Located in the heart of beautiful San Diego, my small in-house work shop contains my production + design studio, where I make all of my products %100 by hand & in house.
