  • Hop to It!


    Spring is in the air, friends, and though our official Spring Collection doesn't arrive until later next month (sign up for our emails to be the first to know!) I thought it might be fun to create a few new styles to greet the new season. Whether you're celebrating warmer(ish) weather and blossoming growth, seeing friends and family once again, or an Easter holiday, these sweet styles make for great gifts - in a basket or otherwise! 

    The best part? Everything in the collection is 20% off through Sunday April 4th with code HIPHOP at checkout. We'll wrap any jewels in our signature logo pouch and a ribbon-tied box as our gift to you!

    A few details: If you're hoping for Easter delivery, be sure to order by 5pm EST Friday March 26th, and if you're able to pick up locally in Louisville, Kentucky, your orders are due by Thursday, April 1st for porch pick-up on Saturday April 3rd

    So hop to it, bunnies - spring is springing!

  • Holiday 2020 / Bits of Brightness


    Hello, beautiful friends!

    I'm really excited to share my latest finds and designs with you all this season. Truly, it remains such an honor and a joy to be part of your gift-giving moments, and I hope that the pieces I'm creating and sourcing with each of you in mind bring a bit of fun and brightness to the days ahead.

    A few items will appear online next week, but the full collection will begin to arrive in earnest starting Monday November 30th, with long-awaited one-of-a-kind Elva necklaces, gemstone statement earrings, handmade limited-edition designs, and even some spectacular vintage goodness I've found in recent months...and an update to our best-selling gift ever: the What's In Your Jewelry Box? mail-in kit!  I'll continue to add new fun to the site every Monday until the 21st, so you'll have plenty of opportunities to discover just the right gift for those you love (or to treat yourself!)

    If you're more of a flash-sale kinda shopper, then mark your calendar for Sunday evening December 13th at 9pm EST, because our one-and-only Elva Awesome Instagram Holiday Sale happens then! I'll post exclusive handmade jewels that won't be listed on the website, lots of stellar vintage finds, and a few other happy surprises, all shipping in time for gift-giving!

     As always, sign up for our emails to be among the first to know the latest holiday haps, and THANK YOU for being so wonderfully supportive as we all navigate this season with grace, kindness, and generously-given love.

    See you next week, friends!

  • Summer is Here!


    Welcome to Summer, friends! I wasn't sure I'd actually be able to pull off any semblance of a "real" collection, since showrooms, markets, trade shows, and travel have been closed these past few months, severely limiting my ability to source materials for the jewelry I love to make. As it turns out (and like so many of us these days) I decided to get creative with the resources I do have, and I've had SO MUCH FUN designing a collection that feels rooted in the traditions of color and craftsmanship here at Elva Fields but also fresh and new - a shift from all of our previous collections, really.

    I've rarely been able to create multiples of designs, simply because of the one-of-a-kind nature of the vintage components I typically incorporate, but this time around, I chose beads and materials that are vintage-inspired, but with availability that allows more than one of you to enjoy each design! Yes - all 10 of these Summer styles are small-batch beauties...some created in larger quantities than others, all created with love and joy, and all by hand with heart. 

    You'll see glass beads from India, knotted nylon cording, hand-tied tassels, fun glass charms in the shape of fruits and veggies, patterned glass beads from Africa, and even a kiddo-craft-turned-favorite-summer-accessory. It all feels so fun and relevant right now!

    The best part? I'll donate $10 of each necklace sold to your choice of among four phenomenal organizations working - each in their own beautiful way - for social justice and equality: The Loveland Foundation, Equal Justice Initiative, the National Bail Fund Network, and Change Today, Change Tomorrow. (You can read and learn a little more about each of them in each product listing in the collection!) 

    Thank you for taking the time to see what I've created for you this season, and I hope the designs bring some much-needed uplift and hope to your days. Here's to celebrating life's vibrancy and variety right where we are, friends!

    XO
