About Elysian Theory

Elysian Theory is a collection of sculptural, dreamy jewelry for romanticizing the everyday. Each piece is handmade by designer Elyse Tolles in Annapolis, Maryland. Elysian Theory takes inspiration from old-world feminine elegance, playing dress up, and rituals of adornment. Featuring an eclectic mix of materials and processes, Elysian Theory designs frequently reimagine classic silhouettes and explore meaningful motifs and symbology — while striking a balance between wearable and individualistic. Elyse was inspired to explore jewelry as a creative medium after leaving graduate school, where she studied classical flute performance. Her professional music background remains a constant source of inspiration and influence over her design process.Read their story
