ELYSIUM Unique Jewelry and Wearable Art came into being in 2005 when I realized that I could combine my training in Fine Arts at Parsons School of Design with my life-long love of nature: especially semi-precious stones, gems, pearls, crystals, minerals and precious metals. All these components (and more) have a well thought out place in my jewelry. Take a look at my “Materials” page – I’m sure you will also be fascinated with the almost endless bounty and beauty nature provides for us from the earth and from the sea.

Each one-of-a-kind jewelry piece starts with an individual pendant, or sometimes a string of gemstone beads or pearls that catches my eye and sparks my imagination. Combinations of other beads and natural elements, as well as precious metals, are carefully chosen to complement each other and enhance the finished item. Every piece is unique and highlights the beauty of its many components.

Nature's exotic and exciting facets are always my inspiration, and it is my pleasure to offer these handcrafted creations to you.
