"I couldn't wear jewellery"
I grew up adoring jewellery.
Obsessing, really. Though it wasn’t the beauty of the jewellery that inspired me, but with the fact I never wanted to remove it – it was an extension of myself, my personality, and the way it could make me feel in a moment.
But I had the most sensitive skin & an intolerance to most brands, which meant that wearing jewellery was impossible.
So, in 2020, Elk & Bloom was born, through somewhat of a lockdown hobby, created to design jewellery I could actually wear. And as we've grown, I've found I wasn't the only one searching for a beautiful, high quality jewellery that’s hypoallergenic, life-proof and yet, still affordable. A mix that I've always felt so strongly about.
Waterproof
Lifeproof jewellery ready to keep up with your everyday life
Hypoallergenic
Jewellery that doesn't cause irritation, so you never have to take it off
Tarnish Free
High quality, yet affordable jewellery that doesn't fade or dull
"The whole industry felt broken"
I remember searching for jewellery before E&B, and always coming up short on three main problems:
Irritation, everyday beautiful durability, and at a price that was affordable.
Three initiatives, that as I found out, just wasn't available in a single piece of jewellery. It just didn’t exist.
And it became so clear that there was this huge gap in the market for jewellery with a beautiful aesthetic, made from hypoallergenic, high quality and essentially life-proof materials, at an attainable price point.
"We found our community"
I know we didn't invent jewellery, but we did create a product that solves the top three problems in the jewellery industry. Something I'm really proud of.
And in doing so, we found our community - likeminded jewellery lovers that want more from their jewellery.
I also found that we shared the same values about wanting to wear our jewellery whilst swimming, sleeping, exercising, and actually, never needing to take it off. Because wearing it is more so about it being an extension of ourselves, and a feeling of what the jewellery means to us, than just the beautiful aesthetic of it all.

Frequently asked questions
What is Elk & Bloom made from?
Only the highest quality materials.
What sets us apart from other brands is not just the high quality gold top layer(for the gold items), but the base layer that really makes the difference. Many brands will use a low quality core metal, such as brass, nickel, or copper, whereas we use a very high grade sterling silver or 316L stainless steel. This means that you will always have a high quality item, and even if your skin is super sensitive (us too, girl!), you won't experience irritation that's associated with the lower grade metals.
Is Elk & Bloom jewellery plated?
Our plating process is what sets us apart from other brands.
Starting with a sterling silver base metal, we use a gold coating called Physical Vapour Deposition ('PVD' - this is the same kind of plating on door handles and door knobs - super hardwearing!), which is it's 10x stronger than traditional gold-plated jewellery and it's also much more eco-friendly too.
We also use 30 times more gold than the standard plating techniques - making our collection much closer to solid gold pieces, but still at an affordable price.
Following this, (and here's the what makes us really different) we finish the jewellery with an coating layer - which is the same process that's used after cars are painted. This further protects our jewellery from any scratches, or damage from everyday wear and tarnish.
Is there a money back guarantee?

Curating a collection
Jewellery means everything to me because I think it does more than any other item, it's the one item we're always using; it becomes an extension of ourselves.
And what I mean by that, is that at the end of a long day, we leave work, put our bag down, take our make up off, remove our work clothes, and get into bed. The one item we never take off? It's our jewellery.
And this single item inspires and empowers, brings back memories and has the power to create new moments. Something no other accessory is able to do.
