What began as a purely personal artistic pursuit has quickly developed into a lucrative business — a business that fosters both Ellen's gift for producing beautiful jewelry with naturally-occurring gemstones and her ongoing desire to positively influence another's life through the sharing of that gift.Deity Jewels has the blatant edginess to be "now", yet draws upon everything from classic vintage style to Native American weaving. Using semi-precious stones, metals and vintage charms that are either macraméd or braided onto fine silk cord, Ellen draws inspiration from nature in her creation of handcrafted pieces that are each tied to the spirit of self-discovery.
