WHERE IT BEGAN
Leanne Kirkel’s love for jewellery began in her early teens, spending hours seated on dusty floors, searching through trays of forgotten findings and discovering the beauty held within each piece.
What began as curiosity soon became a lifelong passion for creating jewellery with meaning - pieces shaped by story, texture, memory, and detail.
Over the years, Leanne’s travels and deep connection to her South African heritage have become enduring sources of inspiration.From natural textures and collected moments to diverse materials and artisanal finishes, these influences are thoughtfully woven into every Leigh Avenue design.
