Elke Van Dyke Design

Elegant. Edgy. Ethical. WELCOME TO ELKE VAN DYKE DESIGN “Organic textures of nature meet sleek industrial lines of New York City – here we fuse recycled metal and stones to create a piece that is uniquely yours - elegant and with an anti-conformist sentiment.” ~ Elke Van Dyke THE COLLECTION Elke Van Dyke Design is handcrafted sterling silver, gold and copper mixed metal jewelry inspired from the symbiotic, beautiful and sometimes devastating relationship between nature and industry. Our aesthetic incorporates natural organic textures and sleek, architectural lines. Each design seeks to redefine the purpose of the “statement piece” by offering one-of-a-kind wearable art that tells the story of the organic relationship between nature and man. THE MATERIALS Ethical, sustainably made jewelry. Our materials are sourced in the United States and made in NYC. Each collection incorporates a fusion of metalsmithing and oxidization techniques of sterling silver, copper and 14K gold and rose gold (solid and fill). We use 100% recycled metals as often as possible, wholly supporting the mindfulness of the environment and the legacy we leave behind. Additionally, we encourage the incorporation of synthetic gemstones as they are real gemstones with a significantly lower impact on the environment, but also source conflict-free natural stones. Through her travels, Elke has forged personal relationships with small, fair-trade, family-run businesses to handpick conflict-free raw stones which appear in her one-of-a-kind pieces. ARTIST Elke Van Dyke, a theatre professional, designer and environmentalist, specializes in the creation of handmade jewelry collections for a greater consciousness. Each piece is individually handcrafted in Elke's studio in New York City. In addition to creating limited edition and one-of-a-kind jewelry, Elke works extensively with clients on custom bespoke projects.
