A photo series capturing real nails in real life featuring Steff Eleoff of SE.

Steff Eleoff is a creative silversmith based in Toronto, making jewelry with the longest nails the studio has ever seen. Operating a torch with her claws confused people but it gave her the confidence she needed. When she started it would take her 10 hours to make an intricate piece, she’d stack the rings she just made, with dirty hands and all but nails still fresh! The confidence she found in the early stages of starting her business is what she wants everyone wearing SE to feel – empowered and unstoppable.
