Ellen Kelly

“While my work has been sometimes described as vintage looking, it is really more transitional, drawing from both contemporary and vintage aspects. It is designed to be slightly frivolous and certainly colorful, and yet set into structured framework. It fits dress up to blue jeans, and is intended for the working woman. There are many sides to all of us. Our personalities are a collage of the lighthearted and the serious, as is my work. I hope you enjoy.”

Ellen Kelly designs and carves models from wax and clay for all the metalwork molds in her jewelry collection. Metal elements are cast in pewter allow, then finished with plating in sterling silver, gold or copper. Additional treatments include oxidation, matte finish, embellished with crystals, paints and resins. The look is streamlined vintage and romantic, made in New Jersey.
