MY MATERIALS: Gemstones and crystals — with their many sparkling colors and cuts — are not only beautiful, but for thousands of years people from virtually all world cultures have attributed them with energetic properties, mythology, and healing power. Whether you believe these legends or not, there is an undeniable enchantment in the stories of the stones. They are beautiful reminders of the awe-inspiring creative powers of our natural world. Often my customers are drawn to how pieces "feel" almost as much as how they look.

MY SECRET SAUCE: One of the most distinctive qualities of my gemstone jewelry and home decor is my inspirational packaging. When the designs are complete I create a custom tag for every piece, describing the legendary healing properties of the stones and metals. All of my jewelry comes beautifully wrapped in a box or pouch — ready to give as a meaningful and uplifting gift or personal pick-me-up. When someone wears Elle Bernard Gems, they're not just wearing a stunning piece of high quality jewelry; they are enveloping themselves in a healing energy. Home decor gems come with hand crafted description cards to help you learn about the energy they'll contribute to your space.

MY INSPIRATION: I cull my inspiration from the exotic gemstones and precious metals I work with — mined in faraway places that kindle the imagination: Tibet, Australia, Madagascar, Egypt, Czechia, Afghanistan; and more familiar places like Sedona, Taos, and Emerald Village. I use more than 100 different precious and semi-precious gemstones such as: Turquoise, Amethyst crystals, Tourmaline, Rose Quartz, Herkimer Diamonds, Lapis Lazuli, Moldavite, Garnet, Ametrine, Citrine, Jasper, Carnelian, Aventurine, Agate, Amazonite, Kunzite, Chrysoprase, Iolite, Peridot, Sapphire, Moonstone, Quartz Crystals, Jade, Pyrite, Onyx, Shells, Pearls, Coral, Beach Glass, Wood, Bone, Swarovski Crystals, and more.

MY PROCESS: Like a chef creates meals using the freshest of Earth's seasonal offerings, I search gem shows for the best stones on offer. I lovingly call these quarterly outings my "Treasure Hunts." They're exhaustive and exhausting, but well worth the effort. Traveling near and far, I scour gemstone offerings from hundreds of vendors at dozens of shows to find the best color, cut, and polish. With a keen eye for unusual or interesting finds I aim to bring you the most beautiful and well-priced stones available. During the pandemic, I was impelled to source gems online — a daunting prospect as gemstone selection is a meticulous process. With trial and error and luck I developed wonderful relationships with dealers all over the world who I never would have found if not out of absolute necessity. My boyfriend will tell you I'm absolutely insistent on finding the silver lining in any cloud!
When designing new pieces I look ahead to the coming season and choose stones that reflect the natural beauty of the approaching time of year. I then do research into the stones’ legendary healing properties to get a better idea of the energy associated with my choices. As I work toward finalizing the designs, the stones begin to tell their own story.
To execute my designs, I draw on my extensive design background and use wire-wrapping, hammering, and stringing techniques. My tools include jewelry-making pliers, cutters, crimpers, files, hammers, stampers and others. The mediums used are 14K Gold Fill, Vermeil, Rose Gold Fill, 925 Sterling Silver chain, wire, beads, clasps, jump rings, headpins and other components.
