THE STORY OF ELIJAH
Welcome to the ELIE Paris Montreal universe.
It all started in 2020 when cousins Laura and Liza had a vision: to create genderless jewelry with bold, timeless designs, both elegant and casual, of premium and durable quality.
Imagined between Paris and Montreal, and inspired by the codes of French Chic and Canadian Chill , their made in Italy creations will see the light of day in 2023.
Why ELIE ?
ELIE is above all a unisex first name, where “SHE” and “HE” meet to create a balance. This fusion embodies the very essence of ELIE jewelry, transcending any notion of gender.
ELIE is also a recurring first name in the family of designers. More than a tribute, ELIE is a point of convergence which symbolizes their union and resonates with their values.
Finally, ELIE is a biblical first name, which, over the millennia, has never lost its shine. This heritage directly echoes the timelessness and durability of ELIE Paris Montréal jewelry.
The passion for jewelry: a family heirloom
In the 80s, Elie, the great-grandfather of the two designers, opened a picturesque jewelry store nestled in the 10th arrondissement of Paris, on rue Jarry.
Well beyond his profession as a jeweler, he has been able to pass on his passion for jewelry from generation to generation, including his great-granddaughters, now founders of ELIE Paris Montréal: Laura in Montreal, trained in Audiovisual and Art, and Liza in Paris, specialized in International Business and Luxury Marketing.
Inspired by their family, with their unique styles and personalities, they merged their skills and creativity to imagine the first sketches of ELIE Paris Montréal jewelry.
The ELIE Paris Montreal vision
In recent years, our society has evolved towards a unisex trend. However, the notion of gender in the field of jewelry remains firmly anchored, and the offer often remains limited to inflexible binary choices.
ELIE Paris Montréal's vision is to transcend codes by offering genderless jewelry, which can be worn by everyone, with timeless, assertive designs, both elegant and casual and of premium and durable quality.
The main challenge lies in creating jewelry with versatile styles that are both inclusive and adjustable, while retaining their DNA.

The ELIE signature revisits the North Star and evokes multiple symbols:
The journey between Paris and Montreal, cities where the creators reside.
The spirit of adventure and daring entrepreneurship of the creators, always ready to embark on ambitious projects.
The celebration of diversity which is expressed through the multiple sizes of branches of the star, symbol of unity of the ELIE community.
