WEARING THE WONDERMENT OF NATURE

Elise Cope draws inspiration from a deep curiosity for biology and botany, and a passion for ecological conservation shaped by sailing the Pacific Northwest, Mexico, and the Indian Ocean.
 

With two decades of metalsmithing experience, she transforms diatoms, sea algae, and other microscopic organisms into sculptural jewelry that carries the fragile brilliance of the oceans' hidden architecture, worn close to your heart. Elise lives with her family in Anacortes, WA, and sells her jewelry at several local shops in the San Juan Islands and regional fairs.
