Elizabeth Locke – American Jewelry Designer
Before turning her hand to jewelry design, Elizabeth Locke had an accessories business in Italy and spent six years as a contributing editor to Town and Country magazine. In 1988, with a degree in gemology, she began designing jewelry, using as inspiration pieces found in her almost constant world travels. She collects elements such as antique coins and seals, 18th century mother-of pearl gambling counters, colorful Venetian glass intaglios, pearls, and Italian micromosaics. Each piece of jewelry is personally designed by her, and then handmade in 19K gold.
