Local tips
- If you are interested in a custom piece or redesigning heirloom jewelry, contact the studio in advance to discuss timing, budget, and your ideas before visiting.
- Bring any rings or jewelry you wear daily so the goldsmith can match metal tones, stacking height, and style when suggesting new pieces.
- Plan a little extra time; the studio’s strength is personal advice, and conversations about designs, sizing, and care often take longer than a quick browse.

Discover more about Made by Ella
A small-town studio with a personal touch
Made by Ella is tucked along Ryesgade, the main street of Ry, and feels more like stepping into a working atelier than a conventional shop. The space is compact and uncluttered, with workbenches, tools and carefully lit display cases sharing the same room. You are always close to the creative process here; the person who greets you is often the one who has shaped, soldered and polished the pieces on display. The studio’s atmosphere is calm and unhurried. Instead of row upon row of identical items, you find a curated selection of handcrafted jewelry, each piece with small variations and details that reveal the hand behind the work. It is a place that invites conversation about ideas, materials and stories rather than quick browsing.The artistry of Julie Ella Jappe
Behind Made by Ella is jewelry artist and goldsmith Julie Ella Jappe, who designs and produces her work in the on-site workshop. Trained in traditional techniques but with a contemporary eye, she focuses on clean lines, balanced proportions and subtle textures. Metals are shaped, hammered and polished by hand, often combining a refined Danish minimalism with small, unexpected twists. Her practice includes both small ready-to-wear collections and one-off pieces. Rings, earrings and pendants might play with asymmetry, brushed and high-polish contrasts, or the warm glow of gold set against cooler tones. The emphasis is on craftsmanship and durability: pieces are made to be worn daily, to age gracefully and to hold personal meaning over time.Custom-designed pieces and meaningful commissions
A distinctive part of Made by Ella is the option to commission personal designs. Julie works closely with clients to create items such as engagement rings, wedding bands or commemorative jewelry marking major life events. The process typically begins with a conversation at the studio, where inspiration, budget and materials are discussed, followed by sketches and refinement of the design. Where possible, existing heirloom jewelry can be reworked, allowing sentimental stones or metals to be transformed into a style that better fits the wearer today. This makes the studio particularly appealing if you value sustainable use of materials and the emotional continuity that comes from renewing something already part of your family history.Jewelry browsing in the heart of Ry
Ryesgade is Ry’s central shopping street, and Made by Ella fits naturally into this small-town setting. The shopfront window offers a glimpse of select pieces, often arranged in simple, tasteful displays that stand out amid everyday storefronts. Stepping inside, you can take your time looking closely at the finishes, testing ring sizes or holding pieces to the light while receiving knowledgeable guidance on care and fit. Because the workshop is on-site, the studio is also a practical stop for adjustments and small repairs. Resizing, polishing or refreshing older designs can often be discussed directly with the maker. The scale of the space encourages a slower pace; it is easy to combine a visit here with a relaxed wander through the rest of Ry or a nearby café break.Slow design and lasting souvenirs
For travelers passing through this part of Jutland, Made by Ella offers a chance to take home something that feels anchored in place. Rather than a generic souvenir, you might leave with a ring or necklace that carries the memory of a conversation with the goldsmith and a sense of the town’s character. Prices reflect the time and materials of handcrafted work, but there are usually smaller, simpler pieces that make thoughtful gifts. The focus on small-scale production, repair and redesign means the studio naturally leans toward slower, more sustainable consumption. Shoppers are encouraged to choose carefully, ask questions and think in terms of years and decades of wear. In a compact space on a modest street, Made by Ella quietly showcases what a personal, locally rooted jewelry studio can be.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
