The Elizabeth Locke Collection now available at King Jewelers presents over 45 stunning designs, including necklaces, bracelets, earrings, and rings. At the heart of this curation are the hand-carved Venetian glass intaglios—miniature works of art with vivid colors and finely detailed motifs, each elevated with diamonds, sapphires, pearls, and turquoise.
A Curated Collection of 19K Gold Masterpieces
Each jewel in the collection is individually handcrafted, making no two pieces exactly alike. The warmth of 19K hammered gold enhances the character of Locke’s designs, ensuring every necklace, earring, or bracelet feels like a true original.
Highlights from the collection include:
Necklaces: The commanding 17" Siena Necklace ($15,650) epitomizes luxury, while the sleek 21" Garda Chain Necklace ($12,100) and elegant 21" Giulia Chain Necklace ($11,600) offer versatile options for collectors seeking refinement.
Earrings & Pendants: The most expansive category, showcasing more than half of the collection. Standouts include the Mulberry Quadrato Antico Intaglio Pendants ($2,250) and the bold Sleeping Beauty Oval Turquoise Intaglio Earring Pendants ($3,050). These pieces highlight Locke’s mastery of color and balance.
Rings & Bracelets: Unique yet impactful, from the symbolic Dove with Branch Ring ($5,250) to the striking Sleeping Beauty Turquoise and Diamond Ring ($7,200) and the artful Flat Thin Bangle with Granulation ($8,750).
Each design blends historical inspiration with contemporary elegance, making the collection ideal for collectors, investors, and admirers of fine jewelry.
The Artistry Behind Elizabeth Locke Jewelry
What truly distinguishes Elizabeth Locke jewelry is the narrative woven into every piece. Venetian intaglios—relief carvings etched into colorful glass—carry stories inspired by mythology, architecture, and classical themes. These miniature works of art are framed in Locke’s glowing hammered gold, accented with luminous gemstones.
Her dedication to centuries-old techniques ensures that each jewel has the texture, warmth, and spirit of something handcrafted, not manufactured. The use of turquoise, pearls, sapphires, and diamonds brings vibrancy to her designs, while the hammered finish transforms gold into a soft, radiant canvas.
The Story of Elizabeth Locke
Elizabeth Locke’s journey is as fascinating as her jewelry. A lifelong admirer of antique design, she draws inspiration from the classical jewelry of ancient civilizations while adding her own neoclassical aesthetic.
Each piece is designed personally by Locke. Beyond gemstones and intaglios, she is passionate about incorporating rare antiquities:
- 19th-century micro-mosaics
- 18th-century Chinese gambling counters
- Essex crystals
- Miniature paintings
- Antique Japanese porcelain buttons
These artifacts, set into her signature 19K hammered gold, transform into one-of-a-kind treasures. Her personal collection of more than 100 micro-mosaics is part of the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts permanent collection, evidence of her role not only as a jeweler but also as a curator of history. Locke frequently shares her journey through lectures and talks, including her presentation “The Accidental Jeweler,” where she recounts her adventures in design and collecting.
The Treasure Hunt
For Locke, designing jewelry is inseparable from her global search for history. She travels across Europe and Asia, attending markets, antique shows, and auctions in what she calls a “continual treasure hunt.”
An antique button may become a pendant. A 2,000-year-old coin may be transformed into a ring. Each piece bridges the gap between past and present, allowing history to live again through fine jewelry.
Once sourced, these artifacts are entrusted to Locke’s team of 30 Thai goldsmiths, who use traditional goldsmithing techniques to bring her designs to life. This dedication to craftsmanship ensures that every jewel is both an object of beauty and a testament to artistry.
From Editor to Jeweler
Elizabeth Locke’s path to fine jewelry was unexpected. While working as a contributing editor for Town & Country magazine, she wrote an article on shopping in Bangkok. That assignment ultimately led her to pursue a degree in gemology, fueling her passion for design.
In 1988, she launched Elizabeth Locke Jewels, blending her entrepreneurial spirit with her artistic vision. Her designs quickly attracted collectors and enthusiasts drawn to her rare ability to marry antique influences with modern refinement.
