Ela, 16 years old, CA |

Wish submitted by:

Ela is a bright and creative girl with a deep passion for jewelry making, an interest she discovered while in foster care through therapeutic support. What began as a coping mechanism taught by her therapist quickly grew into a meaningful form of self-expression and healing, allowing Ela to channel her emotions into art. Since then, she has fallen in love with the process of designing and creating unique pieces, finding both joy and confidence in her craft. Ela dreams of one day opening her own small shop where she can share her handmade creations with others, turning her creativity and resilience into a source of empowerment and possibility for her future.

Ela has always admired BaubleBar and dreams of creating a custom necklace that is uniquely hers. For her birthday, she would love the chance to shop with intention and design a meaningful piece that reflects her creativity, identity, and personal journey. Jewelry making has become a powerful coping skill and a form of self-expression for Ela, and collaborating to create a custom BaubleBar necklace would be deeply affirming and inspiring for her. This wish represents more than just a piece of jewelry; it is an opportunity for Ela to feel seen, celebrated, and empowered while honoring her passion for design and her aspiration of one day owning a small shop to share her creations with the world.
