Ellen Mote - Founder and Designer

As a child I lived in Lagos, Nigeria where my passion for both travel adorning the body was born. The dynamic culture of Lagos encouraged me to pursue my own self-expression. I later studied Metalsmithing and Jewelry Design and began working as an artist soon after graduation.

I believe jewelry should feel comfortable on the body. Not a distraction but an embellishment. Each piece is designed with the wearer in mind, and made with the highest quality materials.

Ellen Mote Jewelry is made by hand in my Waco, Texas studio. Here I also work as a painter, you can see that work here.

Travel continues to be a priority in my life which I write about here.
