Anyone who knows me well, knows I am an avid jewelry collector. I always have been. I like layers of bracelets and stacks of rings, earrings and necklaces that make a statement. For me, it is jewelry that makes the outfit. So you can imagine my delight when I came across Elizabeth Thompson while shopping at ShopSCAD in Savannah. Elizabeth grew up in Philadelphia, graduated from Savannah College of Art and Design with a BFA in Metals and Jewelry and is now working from her studio in Greenpoint, NY. What I love about her jewelry is the quality of her craftsmanship and her use of unique materials. Every piece tells a story and draws attention - especially her "Beloved Hunter" and "Dark Horse" collections, which feature bold designs and the use of braided horse hair. This artist is inspired by heritage and jewelry she has collected from her family over the years and it's clear to me that her pieces are heritage worthy as well.
