Elizabeth Locke Jewelry: Old World Inspiration, Handcrafted in America

Elizabeth Locke founded her eponymous line in the late 1980s, drawing inspiration from her studies in classical literature, Italian art, and antique jewelry. Her pieces are crafted in 19k yellow gold and often incorporate antique micro-mosaics, Venetian glass intaglios, and hand-cut cabochon gemstones. Each piece is individually made by master goldsmiths in Bangkok and finished in her Virginia studio, embodying an aesthetic that's both storied and sophisticated. The collection features a blend of wearable sculpture and historical storytelling—ideal for collectors and anyone drawn to depth, color, and texture in fine jewelry.
