Before jewelry came apparel — and before that, a childhood spent making things by hand.
After nearly two decades designing fashion, I've found my way back to something I've loved since childhood – making jewelry with my hands. After a few years of exploring various jewelry mediums, I discovered lost wax casting and felt that click: a reunion for my childhood self with my adult self.
For the last 17 years I've designed original collections with a focus on innovation, ethics, and craftsmanship. My work has been featured by Vogue, ELLE, WWD, W Magazine, NYLON, CNN, Business Insider, and Forbes, broke history at New York Fashion Week, and worn by artists like Miley Cyrus.
Jewelry has become the medium where I can bring all of myself: working with my hands, learning your stories, and creating meaningful designs that help you keep close what matters most.
VINTAGE JEWELRY, HANDMADE BOXES, & OUR STUDIO COLLECTION
In addition to custom jewelry pieces, Humans We Love features handpicked vintage and antique engagement rings and statement pieces, handmade stained glass engagement ring boxes, and handmade sterling silver, gold, and bronze jewelry made by Leanne in the Bay.

Brothers Ostap + Danylo in Ukraine
These gorgeous unique ring boxes are made and designed by two brothers Ostap (a former architect) and Danylo (a marketer) in Lviv Ukraine, born in 2014 from their family’s stained glass business where they developed their craft assisting their mother in the creation of glass.
So unique and filled with love, perfect for your ceremony or proposal.
My Design Processes
You two will hand make your rings together, side by side, in my Bay Area studio. You'll have one-of-a-kind, hand-formed rings that your love made with their own hands, to wear forever.
I'll create your ring in a special process where I take a memorable twig or flower stem of yours, and use it as the base of your one-of-a-kind ring.
Before diamonds there was poetry. I'll hand engrave your handmade wedding band with your words, or a symbolic design we concept together.
ENTIRELY HANDMADE IN 14K OR 18K GOLD
Created from your story, by hand, entirely in the Bay Area. Whether you want to celebrate a new life chapter for yourself, your love, or a love lost — I translate your journey into a piece that’s yours alone using ancient casting traditions, blended with my personal craft techniques built on my love for nature, textiles, and memories.
