Iris Studio Jewelry was created in memory of my mom, Iris Yvette Leasure, a woman who never missed a chance to remind my sisters and me to “put on a pair of earrings before you leave this house.” She believed earrings could change the way you carried yourself. That a great pair could lift your mood, your outfit, and your confidence.

When she passed away in 2007, I turned to creativity to cope with the loss. What started as a way to heal became a way to honor her by creating bold, handmade pieces that reflect her love for beauty and self-expression. Every earring I make carries her spirit and her reminder that something as small as a pair of earrings can make you feel seen, powerful, and complete.

This is for you, Mom.

In loving memory of Iris Yvette Leasure 💜
