About Ellen Moran, artist

My first memories of jewelry design were the clover blossom necklaces my older sister taught me to make when I was not yet four. With a scientist father and an artist mother, I was always a keen observer of the natural world, and grew up drawing and painting in a very detailed, illustrative style.

While in college, preparing for a career in medical illustration, I took a detour and ended up in dental school. There I melted down the gold teeth I made for my practice mannequin and turned them into jewelry. After fifteen years of practicing dentistry, and frustrated by patients who did not want me to be "creative" in their mouths, I hung up my drill and started Tiny Baubles

What a princess wears on her day off--
I find my inspiration in treasures from the earth and sea, unusual gemstones and pearls that are a departure from what one usually finds in jewelry stores.

Growing up in the South and a love of flower gardening influence my feminine, delicate styles which often evoke a floral garland. These are everyday pieces that can dress up a pair of jeans or even a little black dress.
