The Story of Elk & Pine

Hi I’m Courtney, the girl behind the Elk & Pine designs and brand. Every piece you see is designed and handcrafted by me in my Mississippi studio or while on the road in our tiny tear drop trailer.  I hammer, cut, wire wrap, and choose each of the gemstones and natural elements for every piece of Elk & Pine jewelry.  I put my heart into designing effortlessly wearable jewelry that reflects the natural beauty of the world we roam. It is my hope that you discover a piece that becomes your companion on every journey.

I began designing jewelry while living in NYC in the early 2000's. I was a Flight Attendant in those days, traveling around the world and loving city life. Initially a hobby, it quickly gained momentum, leading me to collaborate with costume designers and stylists. It was pretty exciting to see my designs on the big screen, and adorning the necks of touring rock stars.

Today I prefer country life over city living, spending my time with my husband, Patrick and our dog Ryder. When I'm not designing jewelry, you can find me in my garden or on a hiking trail.

Born from a love of nature

Elk & Pine is born from my family’s love of nature and travel adventures in our tiny teardrop trailer. Our roots are planted in Mississippi, but we leave a piece of our hearts in the mountains of the West every time we visit. The pieces you see here reflect the landscapes we encounter on our travels, and hiking adventures. May they remind you of your own adventures or the ones you want to take.
