From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


Element Isle is a jewellery design company based in the Isle of Man, known for its bespoke creations that have been gifted by the Isle of Man Government on behalf of the nation to the British Royal Family on two significant occasions. The company, founded by Claire and Scott Pearse, specialises in pieces inspired by the Isle of Man's natural beauty and cultural heritage.[1]

Notable Works[edit]

Element Isle's work includes the Infinity Brooch, gifted to Queen Elizabeth II for her Platinum Jubilee, and two silver falcons for King Charles III's coronation. These pieces reflect traditional Manx symbols and craftsmanship.

Infinity Brooch[edit]

The Isle of Man Infinity Brooch, designed for the Platinum Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II's, symbolises the Isle of Man's connection to the crown, where the reigning British monarch is recognised as the Lord of Mann. The brooch, an abstract representation of the shape of the Isle of Man was made in white gold, featuring four stones representing the main towns on the island.[2][3]

A run of twenty replicas brooches, made from sterling silver, featuring the limited edition Platinum Jubilee hallmark raised thousands of pounds for local Isle of Man charities[4]

Silver Falcons for King Charles III[edit]

For King Charles III's coronation, Element Isle created two silver falcons adorning an Elm Bowl in collaboration with local woodturner Graham Hall, continuing the Isle of Man's tradition of gifting falcons to the Lord of Mann on the event of their coronation. The project used recycled silver and wood from a fallen elm tree, a nod to the "King's passion for sustainability".[5]
