About Elina Jewelry Collection

Curated History. Revived With Heart.

Hi, I’m Madelline - artist, curator, and dreamer.

Elina Jewelry Collection is born of curiosity and a lifelong love for art. I’ve always been one who sees things differently, and I love learning how things work. As a child, I'd take apart the VCR just for the joy of figuring them out. One of my greatest joys was fixing computers with my dad. I love seeing how things are made and putting them back together, like pieces of a puzzle. In the early 2000s, I began expanding on my love for art in between learning French and Italian. You could find me mixing oil paints or acrylics in the garage, sewing full ball gowns from scraps, or fixing broken things around the house to avoid having to buy replacements. For the past 23 years, I’ve worked in tech solving complex problems, but this - this is my soul’s work.

I believe every piece holds not just beauty, but memories. I imagine the hands that once clasped each chain, the soft glances exchanged over a brooch, the occasions a diamond quietly marked. Each jewel I select, whether a Victorian locket, an Edwardian ring, or a Jazz Age watch chain, is chosen with intention. One of my favorite things is getting to restore it, breathe life into it, and prepare it for its next chapter - with you.

This is no ordinary storefront. It’s a vault of whispered histories - rediscovered, repaired, and revived with care. I spend my days sourcing, studying, and sometimes reimagining these heirlooms. You might find a chunky antique watch chain softened with a floral Edwardian brooch. Or a defunct Art Deco watch reborn as a one-of-a-kind bracelet. I love combining function and whimsy - pieces that shouldn’t work, but somehow just do.

Why Vintage?
Because true artistry takes time. And in an age of disposable trends, vintage jewelry reminds us to slow down. It honors craftsmanship, reduces waste, and connects us to the hands and hearts that came before.

Every piece you see here is a conscious choice - one that celebrates sustainability, style, and soul.

Meet the Studio Critics
Marshy and Mia, my two "spirited" Maltipoos, supervise every selection. You’ll see them popping up on Instagram, judging gemstones with a side-eye or napping under my workstation.

My studio is full of tools, antique jewelry boxes, shark dog beds, and the occasional chaos. It's all part of the process - That is, until I can't focus anymore until my office is nice and tidy again.

Thank you for being here.
Whether you’re searching for a piece that feels like remembrance, a bold statement imbued with history, or a tiny treasure to wear every day - you’re part of this story now.
