I’m Elise and I’m the owner of Lily & Quartz! I was born and raised in Portland and have roots throughout the state of Maine.

I launched Lily & Quartz in February of 2022 as a way to combine my interests in sourcing quality gemstones with my passion for jewelry. This small business started out in the dining room of my one-bedroom apartment in downtown Portland while I was working full time as a nonprofit manager. I am floored by how much we’ve grown thanks to the support of this stellar community.

I began selling crystals and handcrafted jewelry on social media and at local markets. Once I received training in fine jewelry design, I started incorporating custom engagement ring services into LQ. We’re proud to have our storefront in Portland’s arts district where I offer custom jewelry consultations and stock the store with gifts and jewelry for every budget.

Sourcing high-quality, affordable gems brings me so much joy. We pour every ounce of creative energy and love into this brand, and we hope that you feel it too! Whether you found us on social media or at a market, thank you so much for being here.
