About us
The Beginning
Our story begins in 2016, when a spark of creativity ignited my passion for jewelry design. This was not a fairy-tale beginning, but a necessity, born from the desire to leave a mundane job and embark on an entrepreneurial journey. As a newcomer to Norway, I found myself trapped in the monotony of a warehouse job, and burnout began to creep in. However, my innate creativity led me down a new path, supported by YouTube tutorials that enabled me to create my very first piece of jewelry.
The story behind our name
I wanted to give my shop a unique name, and after careful consideration, I decided to combine two words: "Art" and "Elysian." "Elysian," with its roots in the Greek language, carries meanings of beauty, creativity, and divine inspiration, as well as an essence of tranquility and perfection.
Everything started on Etsy
Although I could have had better working conditions and a higher salary in the warehouse job, I made the brave choice to rely on the income from my Etsy shop. I have never regretted that decision, despite the challenging times and countless hours invested to succeed in a highly competitive market.
Threader Bar Earrings
In 2018, I experienced a pivotal moment that transformed my journey. I introduced the "Threader Bar Earrings." Together with my wife, we created a series of photos showcasing the versatile ways to wear these earrings. They quickly became bestsellers in my shop and have retained that status ever since. Today, these earrings adorn thousands of people worldwide. This success has even led to our product images being used by others trying to sell cheap imitations. Despite this, we remain steadfast and determined, refusing to give in.
Our Development in the Norwegian Market
In the future, we see great opportunities for growth in the Norwegian market. We are launching our own website, which will make our products more accessible to Norwegian customers. Furthermore, we will expand our product range with earrings made from high-quality gold-filled materials. This will not only increase our offer, but also strengthen our position as a leading jewelry designer in Norway. We look forward to introducing this exciting news and inviting you to follow our journey.
Best regards,
Ana and Dalibor
