MODUS OPERANDI

MODUS OPERANDI

All ELL jewelry is envisioned, designed, and handcrafted in Italy, between Milan and Genoa, where our family's bottega has been located for over 40 years.

Being a team of just two people may seem like a limitation, but it allows us to maintain full control over every aspect of production, ensuring the highest quality in each of our creations.

As aesthetes, we are constantly striving for perfection in execution, while exploring alternative and unconventional methods for crafting our jewelry.

This dedication led us to master every phase of jewelry making, tasks that are typically divided among various specialized artisans—such as model makers, master goldsmiths, stone setters, and engravers. By acquiring these skills ourselves, we can bring our designs to life without compromising on detail or finish.

Our approach blends 70% traditional goldsmithing techniques with 30% innovative methods.

For us, technology serves to complement the artisan’s craft, saving time and resources in the early visualization stages and sample creation, rather than replacing the human touch.

We use 3D scanning to capture our handmade micro-sculptures and designs, enabling us to experiment—multiplying, distorting, bending, and fracturing them digitally on a simple tablet.

This capability allows us to bring our ideas to life more efficiently, reducing waste and respecting the environment.

MATERIALS

Each ELL jewel is designed with the goal of creating timeless pieces that can be passed down through generations.

We craft our jewelry using recycled and responsibly sourced 925 silver and gold.

To minimise waste in the production process, each ELL jewel is made to order.
