FAQ: Practically speaking how did I actually save for the studio? At the end of each month I took the same percentage of money out of my "Operating Expenses" bank account and moved it to my "Building Saving's" bank account. When I started saving I wasn't exactly sure what it would look like to build a studio for EMJ, but I didn't need to know all the details to get started on the saving and dreaming portion. Here we are over 2 years after opening that separate bank account and I never thought that small step of faith would have turned into this. 🙌 #ellenmotestudio

The Santo Earrings, the namesake piece of this collection. What I love about this piece → the elegance of the straight bold line anchored by the organic oval shape. Feels bold and playful. Available in sterling silver and bronze at ellenmote.com #ellenmotejewelry #thesantocollection

18 months. That’s how long I saved $ to build this studio. At Ellen Mote Jewelry things move at the speed of cash. That means that nothing gets built, purchased, etc until the cash is available. YES things move slower at this pace. YES there are opportunities that have to be turned down. And you know what is the reward on the other side? PEACE. No loans to payback, no payroll stress, no rash choices. For me, it’s worth it to save and sacrifice in return for peace of mind. #ellenmotejewelry #ellenmotejewelrystudio

Carya Earrings. 14k gold fill with a delicate riverstone accent. Why @cedargandy loves them “simple and classic, they go with anything, dressy or casual, noticeable but not flashy, mix of modern an traditional” and “I get compliments every time I wear them” so what’s not to love? #ellenmotejewelry

I thought this☝️would happen way more often, I loved the idea of working in the studio with Sloane. Hearing her coo, watching her discover her surroundings- it’s truly the sweetest. And you know what else? Distracting as heck! She’s soooo cute I can’t get a thing done with her in here. I realized that for me to get effective work done I have to be in here alone. That’s why I wake up before 4am so I can get a full work day in before she wakes up. Getting 4 hours of work in before her days begins allows me to fully focus on her while I’m with her instead of thinking about work. #mamamote

I barely launched The Santo Collection before I said peace out and went on my version of maternity leave. SO! Now I’m going to share about all the pieces in this collection, what inspired them and why I love them. It was more important to me to launch the collection and get it out there than to wait and wait till I felt like I was “ready” and it was “perfect” because what I’ve learned is- a 90% perfect idea that is OUT THERE is way better than a 100% perfect idea that is still in your mind. So here it comes the low-key relaunch of THE SANTO COLLECTION. #thesantocollection #ellenmotejewelry

I love weddings! But more importantly I love marriage. The safety, partnership, friendship, love and joy found in a marriage is so beautiful. Yes, it takes work but the tougher the pruning, the sweeter the harvest. With all of the negativity towards marriage I will always be here to cheer and support it! Yesterday we celebrated my cousins wedding and today we celebrate our 7th anniversary. #themotefamily

Back to school! Seeing all the college students file back into Waco and all my Mama friends send their little ones to school has opened my eyes to the season of life I’m now in. Post-grad this time of year would make me so nostalgic, remembering new school shoes and the first day jitters fondly. Now I am seeing how fast time goes and how soon I’ll be sending Sloane to school. To celebrate new seasons and fresh starts save 15% on your next order with code: SEASONS. Valid through 9/1/19. #ellenmotejewelry

The Isa Necklace, why I love it ➡️ the silver chain with 14k gold fill and bronze accents makes it versatile enough to go with everything. The chain can be wrapped around the neck twice for a choker effect. And it’s been described as “drop dead sexy”...so what do you have to lose? #ellenmotejewelry

Tackling sustainability head on by taking all of this scrap metal to the recycling plant today. It’s so easy to use words like #recycledmaterials, #sustainablestyle, #slowfashion, but what does that really mean and how does it translate into business practices? Sharing the whole process of how I turned this metal into cash in stories today ☝️#ellenmotejewelry
