Hi, let me introduce myself: I'm Valentina, Vale to my friends.
Elios B. was born from a dream I've always had since I was little: to be able to earn a living by producing something with my own hands.
After 10 years working as a sales assistant for various types of stores (including a jewelry store), I decided to quit after two years of relentless bullying that destroyed me. From that moment on, I swore to myself that I would never allow anyone to mistreat me like that again, and unfairly , at that.
But the world of work had little to offer at that time (2014) to a 31-year-old "girl" with 10 years of experience as a sales assistant and an almost-degree in translation and interpreting... So I went from one job to another feeling increasingly lost and increasingly broke .
One evening, I happened to attend a small jewelry presentation at a friend's house and... BOOM !!! A flash of genius: starting tomorrow, I want to sell my own line of jewelry! And so I began buying a few materials here and there to create my own jewelry. I started with earrings at first, then moved on to necklaces, bracelets, and anklets...
Little by little, everything took shape under my hands, and I felt free to express myself like I'd never been able to before. Those little objects increasingly became my fairytale world.
So I started trying to sell them at neighborhood markets , then at festivals and then at artisan events...
One morning, my better half Luigi, told me that he found a little souvenir shop for sale in Venice and...Hi, I'm Valentina, Vale to my friends, and I own a shop in Venice!
For three years I lived on a pink cloud , nestled in the streets of the most beautiful city in the world, selling my creations made from my beloved Murano glass. But as we know, difficulties always lie in wait, and unfortunately I had to close my little corner of paradise, but not before identifying what would become the shop where, to this day, I continue to pursue my dream.
Since 2019, my little shop has been located in Favaro Veneto, in the province of Venice, and now I offer not only small items made by me, but also lots of trendy and viral jewelry at low prices and of excellent quality.
I've chosen to only stock jewelry lines made from metals that don't tarnish and, most importantly, don't cause any allergies. I prefer stainless steel, but I also love some lines made from recycled aluminum. The important thing is that the jewelry makes anyone who sees it on my customers say "WOW."
For some time now, however, I've felt the need to enter the online world with a website...and here we are.
Welcome to my little corner of paradise called Elios Bijoux!
