For Elke Van Dyke jewelry, nature isn’t just our inspiration...it’s a teacher, a muse and a quiet collaborator in everything we create. Our jewelry is rooted in respect for the earth, for the people who help shape it and for the stories you’ll carry when you wear it.

All of our metals are either recycled or responsibly sourced through partners who meet strict environmental and ethical standards. Our precious metals comply with the London Bullion Market Association (LBMA)’s Good Delivery and Responsible Sourcing standards, ensuring traceability, purity, and ethical origin.

Our gemstones and diamonds are sourced in alignment with the Responsible Jewelry Council (RJC), whose certification ensures conflict-free, traceable, and environmentally responsible practices across the entire supply chain.

Your jewelry isn’t just beautiful, but also backed by values you can trust.

We work with a refined palette of ethically sourced metals, each chosen for its integrity, beauty, and resonance with the natural world.

• Sterling Silver: our foundational metal, beloved for its luminous glow and timeless strength.
• Solid Gold and Solid Rose Gold: precious and enduring, crafted for heirloom-quality pieces that last generations.
• 14K Gold Fill and 14K Rose Gold Fill: layered with intention and durability, offering the look and feel of solid gold at a more accessible price point.
• Copper: raw, warm, and elemental. We use it sparingly and with purpose, honoring its deep connection to earth and energy.

We use earth-mined, conflict-free gemstones, carefully chosen for their natural beauty and the ethical path they take to reach us. Our sourcing partners follow strict traceability protocolsand are independently audited to meet the RJC’s standards. Each stone carries the quiet power of the earth, formed by elemental forces over time and now passed to you.

We keep things small-batch and often made-to-order, so nothing is created unless it’s truly meant to be. We recycle and reuse every metal scrap. It's a simple, meaningful way we stay in harmony with the materials that shape our work.

Every piece is handcrafted in our New York City studio by a small team of skilled artisans, all paid fair, livable wages. Supporting our local creative community is a vital part of how we define sustainability.

From biodegradable wrapping to reusable pouches, we make intentional choices to ensure our packaging leaves as light a footprint as possible. Even the smallest details are approached with care...sustainability lives in the details, too.

• Responsible Jewelry Council (RJC): Our sourcing partners follow ethical, environmental, and labor standards that respect both people and planet.
• London Bullion Market Association (LBMA): All precious metals meet internationally recognized benchmarks for traceability and purity.

I create jewelry that’s meant to be worn with meaning...to mark your moments, to carry your story. And I believe that story should be grounded in care, respect, and connection to the planet, to each other, and to something deeper within ourselves.

Thank you for choosing jewelry that aligns with your values and that celebrates the wild, raw, and beautiful forces that shape us, both inside and out.

Embrace the force of nature within you. Wear your journey.
