• Comment: Previous feedback was to talk about the company more, and why it is notable. Maybe this has lead to a 'promotional tone'. I have tried to dial it back a bit based on your feedback. Thanks. CaptainTavish (talk) 18:25, 10 July 2024 (UTC)
  • Comment: This is rather promotional in tone. Theroadislong (talk) 15:03, 10 July 2024 (UTC)
  • Comment: Thank you for your feedback. The article has been revised to focus more on the company itself rather than just its notable works. Key changes include:
    Company Focus: Added a detailed history and background section, highlighting the founders' credentials and expertise.
    Direct References: Included references specifically about the company, such as their official website and an article from the UNESCO Biosphere Isle of Man.
    Community Engagement: Added a section on community involvement, detailing their fundraising efforts for local charities and support for the Oie Voaldyn Fire Festival. CaptainTavish (talk) 18:21, 9 July 2024 (UTC)
  • Comment: The news stories are about the items made by the company, but don't really discuss the company at any length. Just being the manufacturer of a couple of gifts for a monarch doesn't seem sufficient to establish notability. That is, the company's notability can't be inherited from the notability of the items. You really need references that talk about the company itself in depth MarcGarver (talk) 15:46, 8 July 2024 (UTC)

Element Isle is a jewellery design company based in the Isle of Man, known for its original work inspired by the Isle of Man's natural beauty and cultural heritage.

History and Background

edit

Element Isle was founded in 2018 by Claire Pearse, a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts, and Scott Pearse, who holds advanced degrees in Natural Science.[1] The company's designs are inspired by nature, culture and heritage incorporating elements from their local environment, a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. Their aesthetic draws from both Celtic and Nordic influences, reflecting the cultural heritage of the Isle of Man.[2]

Community Engagement

edit

Element Isle is involved in the local community, supporting various charitable causes and initiatives. In 2023, the company raised £6,000 for 20 charities across the Isle of Man through the sale of limited edition jewellery.[3] They also supported the return of the Oie Voaldyn Fire Festival coming in 2025.[4][5]

Notable Works

edit

Element Isle has created several notable pieces, including commissions for the British Royal Family. These include the Infinity Brooch, presented to Queen Elizabeth II for her Platinum Jubilee, and silver falcons created for the coronation of King Charles III. These pieces incorporate traditional Manx symbols and craftsmanship.[6][7]

Infinity Brooch

edit

The Isle of Man Infinity Brooch, designed for the Platinum Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II, 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.[8][9]

A run of twenty replica brooches, made from sterling silver, featuring the limited edition Platinum Jubilee hallmark raised funds for local Isle of Man charities.[10]

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, reflecting the King's "passion for sustainability".[11]
