Since 1995, Elements, Ltd. has provided a niche for customers seeking to express their individuality with wearable art without breaking their budgets. Elements, Ltd. is a working studio and gallery located in the Shops at Roosevelt on 42nd Street just north of I-235 in Des Moines, Iowa and is also a part of the state-certified Roosevelt Cultural District. Elements, Ltd. not only features original handmade jewelry and metalwork designed by its three owners, but also the contemporary jewelry and accessories of other Iowa and national artists.

Each item for the gallery is carefully selected for high quality craftsmanship and creativity. Materials range from gold, silver and platinum to specialty metals like mokume-gane, Damascus steel, titanium and others. Diamonds and colored gemstones are featured in much of the work, and most pieces are either one-of-a-kind or limited edition.

As a studio, Elements, Ltd. offers services such as custom designing, reworking precious family jewelry, cleaning and polishing, gem and diamond setting, repairs, and creating tableware. Our staff members are well-educated, personable professionals with degrees in art from Iowa State University, Indiana University and Grinnell College and with many years of experience.

By its three owners, Elements, Ltd. was begun to provide high-quality, yet affordable designer jewelry to the Des Moines metro area. We design and make our own jewelry for the cases as well as providing custom design and repair services for our clients.

We seek well crafted jewelry and other artwork from artists across the nation and choose items carefully to show in our gallery space. We offer a wide range of metals and metal techniques including mokume gane, and we specialize in working with diamonds and colored gemstones.

Elements, Ltd. has been a leader in the area, helping to establish the Roosevelt Cultural District, an arts and entertainment area certified by the State of Iowa. To that end it has underwritten and supported Jazz in July and ARTstop, two community wide events.
