• Valentine Gift Guide

     


    1. Our colorful charm necklace is such a happy gift for the kiddo in your life...or the young at heart! (It's adjustably-sized for both little ones AND adults!) A throwback to our favorite 80s jewel, this one is joyful and fun.


    2. Vintage brass and gemstones make for a modern-day heirloom necklace that is simple and sweet. 


    3. A one-of-a-kind handmade Elva necklace makes a statement.


    4. Heart-felt statement earrings in black onyx!


    5. Original art that shares the love - hand-painted and cut paper collages make for such special gifts! 


    6. Send a Valentine the snail-mail way - we'll even fill out the message and mail it for you!


    7. A classic locket in gorgeous gold is a treasure for always.


    8. In a twist on tradition, this limited-edition locket holds a sweet note or keepsake in its envelope.

  • Save These Dates!


    With the hopes of moving onward and upward in this new year (and not just with a trite statement - doing the work along the way, too) I'm stirring up some beauty and fun in the studio for goodness and joy that we can actually put on the calendar!

    Our first Elva Awesome sale of 2021 kicks off on Wednesday January 20th and will feature some STUNNING handcrafted items from a team of jewelers in India that was due to arrive in December, but missed our holiday releases when shipments were delayed. The sale will also have happy hinting-at-Valentine's designs, some really great vintage finds from recent estate sales and auctions, and all at amazing prices. Join me then (9pm EST on the @elvaawesome on Instagram) if surprises, fast-paced-but-all-in-good-fun bidding, and evening shopping are your jam.

    Early next month, on Wednesday February 3rd, I'll launch the very first collection of 2021 on this website! I don't want to give too much away, but look for some really fun designs in a new-to-me material (SOOOO excited for this!) that will be PERFECT for kiddos OR for the kid-at-heart, a small-batch or two of gorgeous gemstone earrings, sweet nothings for yourself or your favorite peeps in time for Valentine's Day (most under $25!), a few joyful ju-jus, and, as always, some one-of-a-kind Elva necklaces!

    Thanks for following along and hope to see you in the coming weeks for the lovelies I have in store for you. Keep your chin up, beautiful friends, and see you soon!


    XO Emily

  • 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!
