Elizabeth, who has a fine arts degree in silversmithing from the Cleveland Institute of Art in Ohio, is a resident of St. Thomas USVI where she has lived, worked and shown her work there through galleries, local shows and at her studio for the past 30 years. 

 

Married to a 5th generation French-Caribbean man, her work reflects that combined background with an emphasis on Island culture. 

 

Flowers, big and small fish, palm trees and shells are represented in the collection.  They may be crafted in silver with gold touches or alone with gemstones.  Antique porcelain is also crafted into unique earrings and pendants.

 

Custom work is invited and Elizabeth will work with the customer to achieve the design the customer envisions.  This is often done by sketch mailed to the individual who responds with ideas – can take weeks to reach a conclusion – but achieves a very special result. 

 

Old gold can be melted for use in a new piece – as can sterling silver.  Since each piece is made individually, gemstones can be personally selected.
