Elise Compson launched her jewellery brand "By Elise" in 2002 before founding her first retail outlet a few years later followed by her online store in 2008. Her ever growing national and increasingly international reputation for fashion led designer jewellery incorporating style, glamour and originality has been achieved through her "Signature Range" and her "Pearl Gallery" where each item is created by Elise and is entirely unique in its design. Texture and shape is paramount to each design and at times she creates pieces that have a sense of drama making them truly eye catching. The media have described it as "Classic with a Twist". With the "Signature" and "Pearl Gallery" collections the stones and pearls have been sourced, created and designed by Elise and hand strung here in the UK which makes them relatively unique in the luxury jewellery market. This integrity ensures each piece is crafted from the finest stones whilst designed to capture a woman's individuality. Her silver steering wheel clasp allows for infinite variety with or without detachable pendants so as to best suit the clients mood and preference. Pearls remain the heart of her collection with their infinite variety of colour and size - the more baroque the better. When matched with a woman's personality and set with gem stones such as amethyst, turquoise and citrines it allows a both classic and contemporary look - in essence her trademark.
