Ornate Silver Jewellery
Elaine also makes artisan jewellery using precious metals and semi-precious gemstones. Her work conveys her love of the natural world, in particular the dappled light and hidden beauty under the forest canopies. Each piece is thoughtfully and meticulously crafted by hand from recycled silver and gold. A true heirloom, her jewellery can be worn and treasured through the generations.
After over a decade of making silver jewellery, Elaine initially started selling her work under the name Imi and the Deer before founding Ornate Alchemy. You can see examples of her work and follow her journey on Instagram. Elaine is registered with Edinburgh Assay Office where her work is hallmarked.
“Taking inspiration from tales of fantasy, enchanted forests and all things green, my jewellery features a distinctly botanical theme. Delicate leaves, spiralling vines and tiny flowers make an appearance, often enhanced with touches of solid gold. The colours reflect a woodland palette - from verdant shades through to earthly browns. Perfect for anyone who wishes to call nature their home.”
