Ellyse translates illustrations into fine jewelry using traditional enameling techniques, especially focusing on champleve and plique a jour. After graduating from Tyler School of Art with a BFA in Metals/Jewelry/CAD she found work on Philadelphia’s historical Jeweler’s Row repairing gold jewelry with a focus in antique enamel restoration. Working on antique pieces exposed her to the vast possibilities of the medium, combining the playfulness of colorful drawing with the craft discipline she has learned from working within the fine jewelry industry.
