About Us
Your story deserves to be worn. Inspired by Ukrainian heritage and crafted with care, our jewelry combines tradition with contemporary design, meant to celebrate your uniqueness and roots.
Our Story
Taras Lesya was founded in 2021 in Florida, USA, amid a period of loss and change as the conflict in Ukraine started.
We founded this brand on a vision to sustain the Ukrainian spirit through art. This inspired us to design jewelry based on national symbols, allowing a part of Ukraine’s soul to be with you.
Our name, Taras Lesya, reflects the spirit of two writers who helped shape Ukrainian identity - Taras Shevchenko, whose poetry gave voice to a people, and Lesya Ukrainka, a visionary poet and thinker whose words still resonate with power and grace. Their legacy inspires us to create jewelry that carries meaning, strength, and beauty.
Craftsmanship & Materials
From first sketch to final polish, every creation is shaped with care and thoughtful design at each stage. Most of our jewelry is produced in the USA, and some pieces incorporate materials responsibly sourced from around the world. We limit our production to small batches to make sure every detail is handled thoughtfully.
Choosing genuine 925 sterling silver, 14K gold, and lab-grown sapphires and rubies allows us to be more sustainable without sacrificing a radiant look. Each item is hand-finished, hypoallergenic, and free of nickel and cadmium - making it comfortable to wear every day and built to hold its shine.
Before delivery, each product is carefully polished and examined. Our materials are ethically sourced and comply with all U.S. FTC Jewelry Guidelines.
Symbolism & Inspiration
From the Tryzub (or Trizub), to the sunflower, to the wheat stalks, every symbol we use carries a story of freedom, resilience, unity, and the spirit of Ukraine.
Every design tells a story - about home, strength, and identity.
