I’m excited to share that Jelena Behrend Studio has moved to a new location—28 Elizabeth Street. This marks my eighth studio space, and in many ways, it feels like a full-circle journey, returning to Chinatown, where it all began on Catherine Street.
Each space I’ve worked in has carried its own energy, shaping my creative expression and deepening the connections I cherish with each of you. This new chapter is no different—it’s a continuation of my passion, dreams, and aesthetics, inspired by the support and inspiration you bring to my work.
My longtime collectors understand the significance behind these names. However, for newer connoisseurs who may not be as familiar, 'Jolie,' 'Zeus,' and 'Pitbull' are the names of my signature link designs, serving as the foundation for necklaces, bracelets, and earrings. From my classic, more uniform link pieces to the recent interpretations, this variation of the oval link has proven its enduring appeal while staying above trends.
Jelena Behrend Studio is excited to announce our new location in the historic 206 Bowery. Built in circa 1810 after the Revolution, 206 Bowery House has seen many tenants. The building, one of the last surviving federal homes on the Bowery, was on the brink of demolition before it was calendared to become a City Landmark in 2010. 206 Bowery House is still awaiting its Landmark status. In the meantime, Jelena Behrend Studio is delighted to take part in 206 Bowery’s over 200-year history.
