Elizabeth Locke at Greenleaf & Crosby

Elizabeth Locke was a contributing editor for Town & Country magazine when a story on shopping in Bangkok changed the course of her life. It led her to a degree in gemology, and in 1988 she began Elizabeth Locke Jewels.

Drawing on a lifelong fascination with the antique jewelry of the Etruscans, Greeks and Romans, she selects every stone and designs every piece herself in handmade 19k gold. Her travels to European markets, antique shows and auctions, in what she calls the “continual treasure hunt,” turn up treasures like the antique porcelain button that becomes a pendant or the 2,000-year-old coin that becomes a ring. Her designs are brought to life by goldsmiths using centuries-old techniques.

Greenleaf & Crosby carries new Elizabeth Locke jewelry alongside estate Elizabeth Locke pieces. Founded in 1868, we have been part of Palm Beach since 1895 and on Worth Avenue since 1933. Read more about our history.

Frequently Asked Questions

What Makes Elizabeth Locke Jewelry Distinctive?

Elizabeth Locke selects every stone and designs every piece herself, drawing on a lifelong fascination with the antique jewelry of the Etruscans, Greeks and Romans. Her handmade 19k gold designs, many with a hand-hammered finish, are set with Venetian glass intaglios made from antique molds, luminous gemstones and one-of-a-kind antiquities, from 19th-century micromosaics to ancient coins.

What Kind of Gold Does Elizabeth Locke Use?
