Whether worn on a lapel, scarf, or chain, each brooch reflects Locke’s signature aesthetic—bold yet refined, ancient yet elegant.
Drawing inspiration from ancient Greece, Rome, and the Byzantine Empire, Elizabeth Locke brooches often feature hand-carved Venetian glass intaglios, micromosaics, or antique cameos set in 19k hammered gold. These pieces tell visual stories—of mythology, history, and personal meaning—and are designed to be heirloom-worthy from the start.
Every brooch carries the mark of Locke’s design philosophy: to create wearable art that transcends trends and offers a direct link to the past. Their sculptural form and artisanal construction make them striking whether styled classically or layered in a modern look.
Elizabeth Locke is known for her signature hammered 19k yellow gold, which provides a soft glow and handcrafted texture that complements the antique focal points of her brooches. Many pieces are set with stones like aquamarine, citrine, or tourmaline—or with objects centuries old, sourced from markets and collections around the world.
This combination of old and new—of historical depth and contemporary craftsmanship—gives Locke’s brooches a distinctive voice in the world of fine jewelry. Each piece is as much a conversation starter as it is a collector’s treasure.
