A Summer of Silver

This season, we’re embracing the cool, effortless glow of sterling silver and mixed metals. Perfect for sun-washed days, linen layers, and warm evenings — silver is taking center stage all summer long.

Inspired by Silverton, Honoring Her Story


This collection is inspired by my mom’s time working in the Silverton mine — a tribute to grit, resilience, and the hardworking spirit that shaped the town. Each piece blends rustic strength with refined design, carrying her legacy and the spirit of Silverton forward.

Hi, my name is Esla!

I'm the owner, designer and maker here at Narrow-Gauge Designs and I create both rustic and modern, minimalist designs inspired by my love of history and architectural details.

From Frontier Minimalism to Victorian Maximalism - I love it all and am drawn to create pieces as souvenirs - reminders of the beautiful craftsmanship and color of the era.

I pride myself on a personalized experience, customized sizing and design. No two pieces of jewelry are alike and as I love to say, especially about my bracelets "everyone gets a different view."

Thank you for visiting my shop!

Putting in the Work


From sunrise to sunset, our Scenic Collection — featuring the Alpine Loop and Gold Belt ring sets — is built to work as hard as you do. Handcrafted and inspired by rugged mountain roads, these durable rings are designed to keep pace with your day and stand the test of time.

    Quality

    At Narrow-Gauge Designs, we don’t believe in “run-of-the-mill.” Every piece of jewelry is handcrafted, one at a time, by someone who’s equal parts perfectionist and overthinker. That means nothing slips through the cracks—and every detail gets the attention it deserves. We’re proud to make things the way they used to be made: with care, intention, and lasting quality.

    Noteworthy Design

    Each piece of jewelry begins as a way to hold onto something meaningful—a glint of stained glass, the worn curve of an old staircase, the feeling of standing in a place steeped in history. Since we can’t take those places with us, I create souvenirs of them through design. Many pieces are born from memory, emotion, or even your own stories. Whether it’s a custom piece to honor a relationship or part of a small, era-inspired collection, every design carries sentiment and a sense of place.
