Elise Moran
Elise Moran found a passion for making things at an early age. Her lifelong travels have provided ample inspiration. Moran's exposure to diverse landscapes, great art and architecture, and various cultures speaks to her broad interests. With metal, she strives to encapsulate the beauty around us and enjoys creating personal tokens.
Moran enjoys the plasticity of metal. Using traditional metalsmithing techniques to bend, mark, file, solder, and sand, she creates unique models that she then has cast in silver or gold. She finishes most pieces with a satin texture and brings up the fine silver by heating and pickling. The last step is to bring out the luster of the metal with a soft brass brush.
Moran earned a BFA in jewelry and light metals at the Rhode Island School of Design in 1990. She further developed her skills while working for a couple of other jewelry designers after graduating. Over the years, she has also broadened her scope with workshops in precious metal clay, painting with enamels, and flameworking borosilicate glass.
Customer Reviews
These were purchased as a gift for a very selective relative. She loves silver jewelry, smaller than larger pieces, and she loves flowers. I love them as well! They are beautifully made & are the perfect size!! I am sure she will love them! I like them so much that I will likely order them for myself.
Beautiful and well made. Natural and ornamental. The large size is not too big and very artistic.
I received these earrings as a gift and am very pleased. I too will wear them often as the other ladies who have reviewed the earrings said.
I agree that it would be a good idea to be able to see the earrings modeled on the website, both the small and the large, so as to be sure about size. When I opened the box for the small earrrings, I thought they might be too small but on trying them on I think they are a good size.
They are beautifully made and quite unique.
I purchased the small oxidized silver, which are lovely. Since I have silver hair, I like the contrast that the oxidized silver provides. These earrings are quite lightweight and perfectly crafted. I'll be wearing them often!
I bought these earrings in Sterling Silver and they are very beautiful. The craftsmanship is excellent.
I look forward to wearing them often. At first, I thought the small ones would be right, but they were too small and I wanted them to be more visible. I got the larger size and they are perfect. I do wish the earrings would be shown on the ear, so I could better judge the size. (see my photo)
