My name is Amanda Thomas and I’m the founder and designer for Luv Aj. I started my brand when I was 14 years old when my after-school hobby of jewelry-making turned into a business by my senior year of high school. An internship with a local designer inspired me to work on my own creations, and after a chance encounter with a buyer at Fred Segal, they picked up my entire collection for their stores. And from there, Luv Aj was created!
My name is Amanda Jane and my nickname is AJ. I used to sign everything ‘Luv Aj’, so it only seemed fitting to name my brand the same. After high school, I graduated from Otis College of Art and Design with a BFA in Graphic Design and interned for clothing designer Rachel Pally, celebrity stylist Cristina Erhlich, and was a graphic design intern at Who What Wear. These experiences and opportunities inspired me to pursue my love of jewelry even further and continue to grow my brand.
Since I launched Luv Aj 18 years ago, we have been seen on celebrities such as Bella Hadid, Hailey Bieber, Kylie and Kendall Jenner and stocked in retailers around the world like Revolve, Shop Bop, ASOS, Nordstrom, etc. I was also added to the Forbes ’30 Under 30’ list in 2015 for my work as a jewelry designer.
I believe jewelry tells a story and can instill a sense of confidence like no other accessory can. I make pieces that I personally love in the hopes that you will too. Quality and affordability is so important to me and the brand and I hope you can see that when you see the jewels.

Following the success of our debut Spring/Summer collection, Triona returns for SS26 with a renewed sense of lightness, freedom, and natural flow. This season draws inspiration from the ever-changing coastal landscapes of Donegal — where sea meets sky, and tradition meets the quiet innovation of modern craftsmanship.
The SS26 Collection builds on our heritage of weaving while embracing a softer, more breathable silhouette. Garments are crafted from Irish-made linens, lightweight worsted wools and refined cotton-linen blends. These fabrics are designed to move with the body and echo the effortless rhythm of summer. Our signature 100% lambswool tweeds also return, reimagined for the warmer months with a refined touch.
