WEARING THE WONDERMENT OF NATURE

Having lived and sailed through the Pacific Northwest, Mexico, and the Indian Ocean, Elise Cope draws inspiration from a deep curiosity for biology and botany and a passion for ecological conservation.
 

With two decades of metalsmithing experience, she reveals the hidden architecture of marine life — transforming diatoms, algae, and other microscopic organisms into sculptural jewelry that carries the fragile brilliance of ocean ecosystems, meant to be worn close to your heart.

Elise lives with her family on San Juan Island, where she is actively involved in supporting literary, fine arts, and social justice initiatives.
