Wearable History - About Elizabeth Locke Jewels

Wearable History. That is one way to describe Elizabeth Locke jewelry. It is also unique, timeless, distinctive, and eye-catching. Elizabeth Locke herself designs every piece and travels the world to purchase the uncommon elements that make up her unconventional, wearable works of art. She scours European markets, antique shows, auctions, and even attics on what she calls her continual treasure hunt. An antique porcelain button might become a pendant or brooch. A 2000-year-old coin might transform into a ring or cufflink. Her fascination with Etruscan, Greek, and Roman antique jewelry informs her unmistakable hand-made designs. She uses only 19-Karat gold for its warm, burnished yellow color. She has a team of skilled Thai artisans who use centuries-old gold-smithing techniques to hammer out each one-of-a-kind piece.
