About

Welcome to xoBKLA. Designing and making jewelry has been a 25+ year dream that has evolved and manifested. It is a combination of my lifelong love for animals, thick sterling jewelry, and helping others.

Being a voice for animals to create awareness about their different plights – advocating for issues from the importance of spay and neuter to buying cruelty free products not tested on animals has been important to me. Donating, volunteering, Trap-Neuter-Returning community cats, fostering and adopting all play a big part in my life. Every rescue, sanctuary, or charity is in need of donations to help continue their lifesaving work, especially now with our huge animal crisis. Many are in such need that the founders not only do most of the work but sell most of what they have to take care of the animals they have taken in.

Then came the idea. What if I combine my love for animals, design, and jewelry? I could create a business designed around giving back with each and every piece sold and it be significant enough to help many. This is how xoBKLA came to be. 

People of all ages around the world love animals. Whether you dress up, down or have pet hairs on your clothes like me – you will look good, feel good, and be proud to support the people helping animals. Each piece of xoBKLA jewelry is artisan hand crafted and finished in Los Angeles. Our timeless designs will never go out of style. Turn your ring to face others and create conversation about animals, the messages, or the charity you supported with your purchase. Turn it to face you and you will feel like you are wearing a friend on your finger who will make you smile.

Thank you for visiting xoBKLA. As each piece is individually hand made there will be minor differences making them unique. We know you will be happy with your purchase, but if there is any reason you are not, contact us and we will make it right. 

This is only the beginning of something bigger. We have so many designs, animals, and sculptures already made which will be added soon. If you are looking for something in particular, please let us know. We just might have it, and if not, we can make it. 

Love & Light,

xoElise
