Originally from Tehran, Iran, Elnaz (Elle) Sharifpour is the artist and founder behind Elle Naz Jewelry, a line of hand-fabricated fine jewelry known for its modern simplicity, organic forms, and timeless elegance.
After earning her BA in Interdisciplinary Computing and the Arts from UC San Diego, Elle began her career in graphic design—but her true passion revealed itself at the jeweler’s bench. In 2011, she pursued formal training at the Revere Academy of Jewelry Arts in San Francisco, where she discovered the meditative joy of shaping metal and setting stones by hand.
Since launching her brand in 2013, Elle has created pieces that celebrate individuality and the beauty found in imperfection. Working primarily in gold and a wide variety of precious and semi-precious stones, each design is thoughtfully crafted to be lived in, layered, and loved for years to come.
“Jewelry isn’t just something you wear... it’s a feeling, a memory, a small piece of who you are.”
Every creation by Elle Naz Jewelry is meant to be lived in and loved—simple, elegant, and timeless pieces made to tell stories for years to come.
