Elizabeth Locke: Old Souls, Bold Gold, and a New Home at EH

Some jewelry follows trends. Elizabeth Locke has never been interested in that. Her pieces feel like they’ve lived several lives before finding their way to you — and somehow still feel perfectly modern. That’s the magic.

For years, Elizabeth Locke jewelry had a single home in St. Louis: Neiman Marcus. If you knew, you knew. Her designs quietly stood apart — rich gold, carved stones, motifs that felt ancient yet effortless. Now, her collection has a new address, and we’re proud to say it’s right here at Elleard Heffern.

Elizabeth Locke didn’t stumble into jewelry design. She came armed with a Harvard degree in classical civilization and a deep obsession with history, mythology, and symbolism. Instead of treating ancient art as something to admire from afar, she brought it to life — turning centuries-old inspiration into jewelry meant to be worn now, not archived.

Her signature? Hand-carved intaglios, inspired by ancient Roman and Greek techniques, paired with glowing 19-karat gold that feels warm, bold, and unmistakably hers. These aren’t delicate, barely-there pieces. They have presence. They say something. They spark conversations with strangers who suddenly feel entitled to ask where your ring came from.

What we love most about Elizabeth Locke jewelry is that it doesn’t try to be perfect — it tries to be interesting. The scale is confident. The designs feel intentional, not overthought. Every piece looks like it has a story, even before you give it one.

At EH, her collection fits right in. Our clients are drawn to jewelry with personality — pieces that feel collected, not mass-produced. Elizabeth Locke designs are for people who appreciate craftsmanship, but don’t need a lecture about it. You either feel it or you don’t.

So while her St. Louis chapter at Neiman Marcus may have closed, the story continues. And honestly? We think it’s better than ever. Elizabeth Locke jewelry now lives at Elleard Heffern — ready to be worn, layered, lived in, and loved exactly the way it was meant to be.

If you know her work, welcome home.
If you don’t — prepare to fall for jewelry with an old soul and a very modern attitude.
