Our Story
About Eleanor Rhea & Co.
Eleanor Rhea & Co. was created from love, resilience, and the belief that the most meaningful things are made by hand.
The brand is named in honor of my mother, Eleanor Rhea, whom we lost in 2019. She embodied effortless elegance, quiet strength, and an unwavering presence that shaped the way I move through the world. Her spirit continues to guide everything I create.
Years later, when I was diagnosed with breast cancer, I found myself searching for something grounding. In the midst of uncertainty, I began making necklaces. What started as a simple creative outlet became a source of calm, focus, and unexpected joy.
On a recent trip to Punta Mita with my dearest college friends, I made each of them a necklace. We have walked through decades of life together, through milestones, celebrations, and challenges. Their response was immediate and heartfelt. They encouraged me to share these pieces beyond our circle and to bring this vision to life.
Eleanor Rhea & Co. is a celebration of my mother, my life, the women who shape us, and the places that leave their mark on our stories.
Each collection is inspired by a place in the world. Travel holds memory, connection, and transformation. Each necklace carries the name of an extraordinary woman, because at the heart of this brand is the celebration of women and the stories we carry with us.
Every piece is made by hand, with intention and care. Designed to endure beyond trends. Created to be worn wherever you may wander.
This is adornment with meaning.
This is presence without excess.
This is a quieter kind of bold.
With gratitude,
Debbie
Founder, Eleanor Rhea & Co.
