As a Costa Rican native, Ileana hopes her designs will enchant you just as the country’s paradise of colors has enchanted her family and ancestors for centuries. A distinguished jewelry designer since 2006, Ileana has won many prestigious awards, including the “Beyond the Runway” award at New York Fashion Week with Nolcha in 2010. A jewelry designer has not been the recipient of this highly coveted award in 24 years. It marks Maleku Jewelry as exceptionally and uniquely beautiful.

For all your Jewerly needs, this is the best place for the highest quality and experienced jeweler you’ll ever find. Not only is Ileana the kindest person to deal with, she is the MOST HONEST. And in the jewelry business, that is hard to find! She’s a true “gem”!

After passing of my husband I did not know what to do with his wedding ring. I took it to Ileana and she designed it into a beautiful necklace (which I'll never take off!) Her sensitivity and understanding of the importance of it to me was beyond anything I expected. She is a very special person and a true artist! She also fixed my wedding ring in a cool way so I can wear it on my other hand. Thank you!
