Lenaginarium by Lena Esaulova: Upcycled Jewellery

April 27, 2026

A Contemporary Approach to Jewellery

Lenaginarium is a London-based jewellery brand redefining contemporary jewellery through transformation and upcycling.

Working with antique and vintage elements, the brand reimagines historical materials into modern, expressive designs, creating pieces that carry both history and new meaning.

From Object to Narrative

At the heart of Lenaginarium is the idea that jewellery is not static. Each piece evolves, shifts, and transforms.

A brooch may become a necklace, a fragment may turn into a sculptural composition. These transformations challenge traditional definitions of jewellery and create a new visual and emotional language.

Upcycling as Artistic Practice

Upcycling in Lenaginarium is not simply about sustainability. It is a creative philosophy.

Using antique French cameos, Italian micromosaics, coral beads, and vintage components, each piece is reconstructed into something entirely new. The past is not preserved, but reinterpreted.

This process allows jewellery to exist across time and connect history with the present moment.

The Designer Behind Lenaginarium

Lenaginarium is created by London-based jewellery artist Lena Esaulova.

With a background in visual storytelling, graphic design, and film, her work approaches jewellery as narrative. Each piece carries emotion, character, and meaning, reflecting her multidisciplinary creative vision.

Lena Esaulova’s work has been exhibited internationally, including in London, New York, and across Europe.
