Handcrafted, Distinctive Jewelry with a Story — On U by
Donna Silvestri

At On U, we create distinctive, expressive jewelry designed
to travel with you through every twist and turn of life—from sandy beach walks
to mountaintop views, bustling street fairs to candlelit dinners. Led by
award-winning jewelry designer Donna Silvestri, our line is rooted in passion,
personality, and an unapologetically artistic eye for color, texture, and dimension.

Our pieces are crafted from "eco-chic" materials
with history and heart—antique buttons, vintage elements, semi-precious stones,
and re-purposed treasures found from our travels around the world. Each design
carries a sense of time, place, and soul. It’s dramatic in texture, bold in
color, and dimensional in design—meant to make you feel as incredible as you
look.

Whether you live down the street, or across the globe, our
handmade artisan jewelry is all set to travel to wherever your inspiration takes
you. We’re proud to be one of Richmond’s best-kept secrets (we adore RVA) and
love extending our fashion styles by shipping throughout the country, and the
world. Donna has been honored as Richmond Magazine's "Best Jewelry
Designer" and recognized at juried art festivals around the country.

Before stopping by our Richmond Studio at 7008 West Franklin
Street, please call or text us at (804) 615-1198. We’re often traveling,
creating, or showing—and we’d never want to miss you.

Original Artisan Necklaces, Bracelets, Earrings &
Anklets

We design one-of-a-kind necklaces, bracelets, earrings, and
anklets that layer vintage soul with stylistic edge. Every piece is crafted by
hand, combining ancient and vintage elements, tactile surfaces, and an
unmistakable sense of character. Think light-catching statement earrings,
stackable bracelets, comfy anklets, and necklaces that transform your look—and
your energy. 

Our materials come with stories, and we bring them to life
through wearable art. If you want artisan earrings that are eye-catching and distinctive,
or handmade bracelets that stack with flair, you’ll find them here.  Or, how about a necklace that can be fashioned
in a variety of different ways?

Story Behind On U — From NYC Commute to Studio Magic

What began on the NYC subway as a creative escape quickly
grew into a thriving jewelry line worn by collectors coast to coast. Donna
Lemonedes Silvestri turned that early inspiration into a vibrant studio
practice, debuting On U at art festivals and shows before rooting the brand in
Richmond, VA.

Today, our Studio is where the sparks fly—not just with
pliers and cord, but with stories and joy. Our space is a wonderland of
creativity and connection, and we love sharing it. Just give us a ring before
you stop by so we can roll out the beaded welcome mat.

Designs with Vintage, Ancient & Semi-Precious Finds

We work with the rare, and the remarkable—materials
unearthed at antique markets, sourced from artisans around the world, or rescued
from history. Our mission is to give these finds new life, blending them with
semi-precious stones, antique buttons, glass, and mixed metals to create pieces
that are both sustainable and sensational.

Our jewelry isn’t just vintage-inspired—it carries the
fingerprints of time. If you love enduring one-of-a-kind treasures that speak
louder than trends, you’re in the right place.

Thoughtful Gifts & Meaningful Designs

Looking for the perfect gift? We love celebrating holidays,
birthdays, weddings and grads just as much as you do! Our collections are
filled with pieces that feel personal and comfortable. While we don’t offer
fully custom work, we’re happy to adapt one of our designs just for you.
Whether it’s a different color palette or a special length, we’re here to help
you find just the right fit.

We know that jewelry is an extension of your look and
lifestyle.  Our designs will lift your
spirit and reflect who you truly are.
