Our Story
About Us

Hello and welcome.
We are El & Gio.
We are the couple and creators behind Bodystrands — and we are so glad you are here.
From Canada to Europe
The original Bodystrands concept was born and established in Canada. We completely fell in love with the brand's vision and decided it was time to bring it across the ocean. We are proud to be the official European home of Bodystrands — making these beautiful designs easily accessible to our customers across the EU.
Handmade in Portugal and Canada
While the roots of the brand lie in Canada, the heart of Bodystrands EU beats in Portugal. Every single piece in our shop is 100% handmade by the two of us in our Portuguese studio. From the first idea to the final detail, we pour our love, care, and dedication into every strand.
What you can expect from us
Handmade with Love
No mass production. Just genuine, slow-crafted artisanal jewelry made by El and Gio — by hand, every single piece.
The European Home
Bringing the Canadian favourite to Europe means faster shipping and zero customs hassle for our EU customers.
High Quality
High-quality stainless steel — tarnish-resistant, waterproof, and built to be worn every single day.
“When you shop with us, you are supporting a small, passionate couple-run business. We are so thrilled to share our craft with you.”
— El & Gio
