Elelta Bijoux

Im Tsedey of Elelta Bijoux. My name means Springtime in Amharic, and my designs are inspired by the changing seasons and woodland.

Im Tsedey, the artisan behind Elelta Bijoux my name, meaning Springtime in the Amharic language (Ethiopia).

My designs draw inspiration from the ever-changing seasons and woodland that surrounds us, capturing the essence of new spring growth, adorned with leaves and flowers.

My journey into making sterling silver jewellery began in 2002 with courses at East Berkshire College. What started as a personal exploration blossomed into a fulfilling career when, in 2014, my husband and I ventured to France and established a craft shop and workshop. This transition allowed me to channel my passion into pieces of wearable jewellery. During the winter months, I found joy in sharing the love of jewellery-making in sterling silver through classes.

In September 2023, we moved to the town of Buckingham, to be closer to family. Now, from my home studio, I continue to work on my creations with fresh ideas and techniques, always seeking to improve my skills. I do take commissions and also give some classes in sterling silver jewellery making. My creations are not just crafting jewellery its weaving stories, embracing creativity, and adding a touch of enchantment.
