There is a time for everything; He has made everything beautiful in its time. That is how husband-and-wife team, Isaac and Joanne met.
From a young age, Joanne experienced and loved the arts. Having lived in the United States, United Kingdom and Australia apart from her birth place in Singapore, being exposed to different cities and cultures, literature, music, art, nature and film were the driving forces of her youth and into adulthood. Studying music from a very young age, Joanne pursued a degree in Classical Piano and went on to teach.
In the midst of life and music, she learnt to make jewelry, and eventually started her handmade jewelry line, Eli. J Jewelry.
When her son was five years old, Isaac and Joanne met. As the saying goes, the stars aligned and love blossomed. In 2018, she made the transition to jewelry full-time. In 2019, Eli. J Fine Jewelry was born.
Coming from a family of jewelers, Isaac began his apprenticeship in his youth and spent many years immersed in learning the ins and outs of the jewelry industry. He understands the detailed process and requirements needed to produce an expertly crafted piece of jewelry.
Together with their love for gemstones, Joanne’s passion and love for antiques, vintage and beautiful, well-made things from the past, as well as her superb eye for detail, we hope you too can begin writing more of your own stories through our collection here on 1850 by Eli. J.
