LENAE
Founded in 2024 by international model Lena Wro, LENAE is a celebration of jewellery as wearable poetry. Rooted in the raw beauty of nature and the quiet strength of feminine spirit, each piece is designed to move like water and endure like stone. What began on the shores of Kefalonia—where light danced on sea-washed rocks—has become a brand that honors elegance not as ornament, but as essence.
At LENAE, luxury is consciously crafted. We create in small batches using ethically sourced materials and sustainable practices, ensuring that every piece leaves a gentle footprint. From natural baroque pearls to recycled metals and eco-conscious packaging, our commitment to elegance is matched by care—for the earth, the craft, and the women who wear us.
Every LENAE design tells a story—of heritage, resilience, and connection. Inspired by Lena’s own legacy, our collections are made to be treasured and passed down, not thrown away.
Join us at the ELVÉ launch to explore, try on, and purchase our latest collection. Come experience the soul of LENAE in person—jewellery that remembers where it came from, crafted to carry you forward in beauty and strength.
Elegant, enduring, and ethically made, LENAE invites you to wear something real.
