Hi! I'm Elle, the face behind Pretty Steep Jewellery. I want to share with you my story - and why I created Pretty Steep.
Pretty Steep creates mountain-inspired jewellery for free-spirited, adventurous souls.
When I was younger, I’d occasionally escape the UK for the Alps and I was in AWE of the mountains and the lifestyle. Time seemed to slow down and priorities changed - it was a different world! The overwhelming smell of the forest and the soundlessness of the snow was unforgettable. Those are the moments that stuck with me.
In 2011 I made the move to Revelstoke, British Columbia to ski for the Winter. Of course, I stayed. With a fascination of jewellery, I took a silversmithing course and fell in love with designing and creating in silver. Combined with my passion for outdoor adventures, Pretty Steep was born!
My goal with Pretty Steep jewellery is to create keepsakes of moments that make us feel alive. The designs are a way to keep a piece of the mountains with us, wherever we go 🏔️🐾✨
What I'm loving right now
Heading into Winter, my fav collection is the "Black Diamonds are Forever" Ski & Snowboard necklaces.
The ski slopes captured my heart back when I was a kid and occasionally visited the Alps. The warm sunshine on cold, snowy day, the endless smiles and the cozy fires in the perfect log buildings. My Dad made me a keepsake on my 16th birthday to remind me of those times - a ski-shaped pendant.
I wanted to create a replica for Pretty Steep, so you too can keep your winter mountain memories with you, always!
