About Elysium
In the spaces between what was and what could be, we forge artifacts for those who understand that adornment is transformation.
The Genesis
Elysium Accessories emerged from a singular obsession: the belief that what we wear carries power. Not the power of status or trend, but something older—the power of symbol, of material, of intention made manifest.
We began in shadows, collecting forgotten things. Vintage watch movements that once measured someone's precious hours. Brass findings from factories long silent. Bones that once held life. Crystals formed in darkness over millennia.
From these fragments, we compose new wholes. Each piece is a conversation between past and present, between the industrial and the organic, between death and transformation.
Our Philosophy
Mixed Media
We refuse to be bound by a single material or technique. Metal meets bone, glass embraces rust, the mechanical intertwines with the organic. In combination, new meanings emerge.
Handcrafted
Every piece passes through human hands at every stage. We believe in the imperfection of craft, the slight variations that prove something was made with intention, not stamped out by machines.
Intentional
Nothing is arbitrary. Each material is chosen for its resonance, each design element carries meaning. We create talismans, not trinkets—objects that carry weight beyond their physical form.
Beyond Labels
Yes, you could call us gothic. You could call us steampunk. You could invoke Victorian mourning jewelry, industrial aesthetics, dark romanticism. All of these threads weave through our work.
But we exist in the spaces between categories. We draw from memento mori traditions and cyberpunk futures. From alchemical symbolism and brutalist architecture. From the natural world's beautiful decay and humanity's mechanical dreams.
Our aesthetic is for those who have always felt slightly out of time—drawn to the past but not nostalgic, aware of mortality but not morbid, lovers of darkness who understand it as the necessary complement to light.
Our Process
Collection
We source materials from estate sales, antique dealers, ethical suppliers, and the natural world. Each component is chosen for its history, its energy, its potential for transformation.
Contemplation
Before creation begins, we sit with our materials. We consider their origins, their meanings, what they want to become. Design emerges from this meditation, not from trend forecasting.
Creation
Working by hand, we shape, solder, wire-wrap, and assemble. We use traditional metalsmithing techniques alongside experimental methods. Each piece takes the time it needs.
Consecration
Before a piece leaves our workshop, it is cleaned, inspected, and—in our own way—blessed. We believe objects carry the energy of their making, so we create in states of intention.
Find Your Artifact
Each piece waits for its destined keeper. Perhaps one of our creations has been waiting for you.
