Gardiner - Ellipsem Jewelry is high quality handmade jewelry designed to be worn and lived in for many years. Ellipsem Jewelry has grown from ideas about dimensionality and explorations of the tension between function and sculptural form. Currently this comes through in designs that are often textured, and geometric, hammered and curved, and always made to be worn. Each piece is created by hand with a belief in the power of jewelry to act as containers for memory. As a piece of jewelry is worn on an ordinary day, or for a special occasion the memory and experience of that time becomes part of that piece of jewelry.
