Our Legacy

My name is Priscilla, and I’m the Founder and Creative Director of Atelier Clara.

Atelier Clara is named after the grandmother I never had the gift of knowing, yet God still used her life to shape mine. Everything I know of her rests in a single trunk of jewelry filled with chunky rings, vintage chains, and treasures she chose throughout her time on earth. I imagine her slipping them on before a night out at a dimly lit jazz bar, or discovering them during her travels, each piece selected with intention, care, and a heart full of wonder.

Those tiny windows into her world sparked my love for adornment. As a little girl, I would try on her jewelry and feel so beautiful, wrapped in the grace of a woman whose legacy lived on through those pieces. Though we never shared a moment in time, I believe God wove her spirit into mine...shaping my eye, my style, and my desire to create something meaningful.

Now, when I travel, I catch myself doing the very things I imagine she once did like wandering through hidden markets, stepping into vintage shops, pausing to admire the work of local artisans. I look for pieces that feel like they carry a story, like they were placed in front of me on purpose. I bring home more than jewelry; I bring home moments, memories, and reminders of the places God has led me.

That same spirit guides me in the atelier.
The curiosity.
The sentiment.
The faith that beauty can carry meaning.

I curate each collection with intention and prayer, choosing designs that feel soulful, timeless, and connected to something bigger than ourselves. Pieces meant to be lived in, cherished, and woven into someone’s life in the way only jewelry can quiet, intimate, and full of story.

Atelier Clara continues her legacy... where memory meets faith, and where God threads quiet beauty into every story we wear.

Thank you for being here,

Love Priscilla
