Our Story
Born in 2010 in a small light-filled studio in Charlottesville, Virginia, EBJ found its footing at craft fairs and small boutiques. In 2017 our studio relocated to metro Detroit. Finding inspiration in the history and architecture and camaraderie with the community, we have grown into our studio and showroom on the historic Woodward Corridor since November 2018. In the spring of 2022 EBJ added a second retail store in the eclectic neighborhood of Oakley in Cincinnati Ohio.
With your support and a mission to create modern everyday and fine jewelry through ethical sourcing, local craftsmanship and meaningful relationships, we opened up a little sister location in Cincinnati, Ohio in 2022. We chose Cincinnati for its beautiful and supportive community, family ties for Elaine, and the reasonable 4 hour drive to our flagship location in Detroit. Our store is located in Oakley Square, across the street from the historic Twentieth Century Theater.
The EBJ Experience
When you walk into EBJ you might hear hammering in the distance, a group of people chatting at the Forever Linked station and music playing on the stereo. With big bright windows our shop is filled with plants, handmade goods, quirky cards and glittering crystals intermingled with jewelry made by our all women team.
In our flagship store, you can look just beyond the fine jewelry cases and peer into our work space. Watch our jewelers as they create all of our designs by hand. Or in Cincinnati, you might catch Elaine sketching out our newest collection in her side office. At both locations, you’ll be able to talk with and see the people who are making your jewelry. We can’t wait to see you!

Our Values
At Elaine B Jewelry, we know exactly where our metal and stones come from- maintaining relationships with miners, stone cutters, and companies that run transparent supply chains. We source first from local and then from American companies as much as possible.
We have always believed that spaces should be inspiring, and communities should be supportive. We practice this core value by donating regularly through our Forever Linked Collection. If you would like to find out how your organization can be a recipient please contact us here.
Most importantly, we make jewelry for everyone. No matter your gender, sexual orientation, religion, race, or even personality- we want to make jewelry that’s perfect for you. Every person and love story is welcome at Elaine B Jewelry. We want you to know that you are loved and supported no matter who you are.
