The Elle necklace is simple yet classic, fun but versatile. One of the most popular styles from local jewellery label Emeldo by Emily Dornbusch, the piece is named after a close friend and early supporter of Emeldo, Elle Payne, who was one of the first to buy the gorgeous jewellery, as well as send in her own personal design request (what good taste!) The Elle necklace is available in seven colours, with one that sadly has more significance than the rest.
Two weeks ago, after suffering long and hard with depression, Elle’s life was cut short by this horrible illness. For one month, starting the 13th April, Emeldo will donate 100% of the money made from the sale of any Elle necklace to Beyond Blue and Lifeline, the charities chosen by Elle’s family to raise awareness and funds to help fellow sufferers of mental illness.
Purchasing the Elle necklace (available in blue, coral, watermelon, black, green, orange or yellow) for yourself, a friend or perhaps even as a mother’s day gift, is a way for you to contribute to two worthy charities as well as a honour the life of a loving and bubbly woman taken far too soon.
“Today we said goodbye to a hilarious, loving, bubbly dear friend Elle. Elle was such a driving motivation for me with Emeldo – not only was she so excited about the initial designs but she was the first to purchase ANYTHING from me and wouldn’t take the mates rate discount. She was also the first friend to send in a design request (as shown) and from that day about 2 years ago the ever popular Elle style has existed, as well as Emeldo. For the next month, 100% of all sales of the “Elle” style will be going to the charity that her family decides on this week. I will be sure to keep everyone posted on which one this is. Mental illness is a touchy subject and one that is not spoken about enough and affects everyone in some way but I hope that I through Emeldo I can raise at least a small sum to assist in conquering mental illness, in particular depression. By purchasing any Elle style I guarantee you the full purchase amount will be going to a great cause. ❤️ to you Elle. Xxx” – Emily Dornbusch
