Elizabeth Locke 18K Tanzanite Hammered Ring
Item Details
Handcrafted by the renowned Virginia-born designer Elizabeth Locke, this 18k yellow gold band is a definitive example of her Neo-Classical aesthetic and artisanal craftsmanship. Locke, whose background in Italian literature and gemology led to the founding of her eponymous label in 1988, draws heavy inspiration from the jewelry of the Etruscan, Greek, and Roman empires. This specimen features three square-faceted tanzanites bezel-set within a hand-hammered gold mount, accented by signature granulation droplets—a technique perfected by the specialized Thai goldsmiths Locke has employed for over three decades. Weighing 9.00 grams and bearing the 18K L pictorial hallmark, the ring reflects Locke’s transition from a Town and Country editor to a celebrated jeweler whose work has been featured on the cover of W Magazine and exhibited at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts. Known for incorporating pieces of history, such as ancient coins and Venetian glass intaglios, into her designs, Locke has created a devoted global following for her wearable history, making this contemporary tanzanite band a highly collectible item for enthusiasts of handcrafted luxury.
