El-Joy Designz was founded by Elba and the name is inspired by her wife. It is a play on their names and also one of the many definitions/inspirations the name stands for (The Joy).
Elba has always been very crafty and talented when working with her hands. Her sense of style and eagle eye for unique, stand out items has always been her forte often being stopped by strangers on the street to compliment her style and jewelry. Born in the Caribbean and moved to NYC at a young age she was exposed to alot of colors, textures and a broad array of styles.
In 2016, Elba became the victim of a traumatizing event. She was struck by a vehicle while crossing the street. Over the last few years, she has gone through physical and mental rehabilitation in an effort to, in her words “figure out what she wants to be when she grows up.”
During her recovery days, Elba explored different pastimes, and one of them was making jewelry. Not knowing this time of healing and stillness would be the catalyst that God placed in her heart and the birthing of El- Joy Designz! She took many jewelry making classes and studied extensively on gem/natural stones/ crystals and the properties. Elba wanted to gain and acquire the knowledge and skillset in the artistry. She started making pieces for her friends and family as gifts, pouring prayers, meditating good intentions, and love into the creations. The wearers of the gifts asked to purchase more so they could share the beautiful pieces with their friends and family. From there the business has flourished! Dabbling in craft fairs, jewelry and trunk shows .
Elba LOVES pearls because they make her feel Regal and Elegant. The pieces she creates are adorned with a red bead. Making it her signature, the red bead represents her process Revive, Enlighten, Discover. She wants other people to feel the same. Every piece of jewelry she makes, she pours so much Love, Light, and Intention into it for the wearer.
Her aim is to create pieces that encompass brightness, beauty, love, accomplishment, vibrancy and diversity. She is a proud member of the LGBTQ community.
Message from El- Joy Designz : A sincere thanks to God, my wife, my children my family/friends and to my wonderful customers who help me grow.
“Let’s all live a great revived, enlightened life full of wonder and discovery” ~Elba
