Huge fan of these awesome, hand-crafted designs! The owner goes out of her way for her clients, and I’ve been happy with everything I’ve ever ordered! Highly recommended.

Wonderful shop! Saw Elise on Instagram and knew I needed to pop into her shop while in Portland. Beautifully curated assortment of gifts and jewelry. Can’t wait to hang my new macrame and airplant in my new office!

Elise has created (and curated) a gorgeous assortment of must-haves in a totally relaxing environment. It's always so much fun to stop in and explore all that's new! Elise personally designs (and hand crafts) all of the jewelry and accessories offered (be prepared to want it all), and there's a wonderful mix of apparel to treat yourself, baby, or embellish your home with! Brilliant shop to buy gifts for any occasion or show yourself some self-care love. A must for us locals and anyone visiting Portland!

Elise Marie DeSigns is changing the scene in the East End of Portland. Right next to popular Silly's and plenty of on street parking. The artist, Elise, has been a friendly face around Old Port, fairs, markets and selling her jewelry in lots of Maine stores for years. So happy for this brick and mortar! I am in love with the boho, high quality jewelry. My favorites right now are a hammered U shaped long necklace and long red fringe earrings. Perfect spot to grab a gift for a loved one and peruse gifts other than her jewelry like candles, air plants and clothing. Loving the changes this boutique brings to this neighborhood in Portland!

I've been smitten with Elise Marie Designs for years now - originally falling in love with her jewelry as it popped up at various holiday art sales. We'd carefully comb through her pieces - since each one is slightly different than the other - until I found "the one". I've got a titanium crystal necklace, a wire wrapped ring, a long necklace with a delicate bluish/greenish plated real leaf, and lots of gemstone studs. I'm enamored with her designs because they feel very nature and ocean inspired, while also being whimsical and bohemian - my mermaid soul loves all the sparkly treasures she creatively makes using semi-precious stones, crystals, glass, beading, faux suede and more to make an array of earrings, necklaces, bracelets, rings, headbands, hair pins and hair combs. I was absolutely thrilled when she opened her brick and mortar shop. It's a charming spot in the East End that I want to spend hours in finding exactly the right piece for me - which I've done and she was absolutely lovely about. She's one of those artists that realizes that she's not just selling pieces... she's selling pieces that speak to people, and it's such an enjoyable experience talking to and working with her on finding "the one." Most of the jewelry in my personal collection now come from her, and I know that what I own - while similar to what other people might buy from her - will always be one of a kind. I'll see you soon, Elise!
