Welcome Friends! My name is Crystal, the founder of Elaine James. Since I was a young girl, I have always had a love and fascination for beautiful jewelry. It stems from the most fabulous, classy and chic woman I've ever known...my beloved grandma Sara Hannah. Grandma always had a shiny, gold ring on every finger, multiple bracelets on her tiny wrists and beautiful earrings glistening alongside her silver locks. Some of my fondest memories were a visit to her house where my sisters and I would dig through all of her many jewelry boxes. We would spend countless hours (in between reruns of I Love Lucy) trying on every piece. Always searching for her hidden spots where she kept the "good stuff". I don't know how many times we tried on each of her pieces over the many trips to her home in Waco, Texas. 

​

I've always wanted to start my own cost effective BUT quality gold jewelry business, and after much research I found that the next best thing to solid gold was actually gold filled jewelry! Gold filled jewelry is durable, tarnish-resistant and can withstand wear and tear without chipping or fading. 

​

When my grandma passed after a well-lived ninety four years in 2023, I told myself now was the time to start my jewelry business. I hope you love these pieces as much as as I do!

In loving memory of my little Colombian firecracker <3
