The British
jeweller talks to Town&Country about
50 years in the business, her V&A
recognition and what's next for her
luxury brand
COMPANY DESCRIPTION
Fine jewellery as an art form since
1964.
Unconventionally elegant: Elizabeth’s
unique artistry knows no bounds.
Timeless, the essence of Elizabeth Gage
oscillates between her love of
art and that of precious stones. Enchanted
by her studies at Chelsea Art
School and the British Museum, Elizabeth’s
desire to channel her
creativity into jewellery was sparked.
With a unique philosophy,
Elizabeth set out to create jewellery
that was wearable from “day into
night”. Presented with an ounce
of gold after completing her jeweller’s
qualifications at Sir John Cass College,
not only did Elizabeth fashion her first
ring but born, was a new age jewellery
lifestyle signed Elizabeth Gage.
Beyond a jewel, Elizabeth’s work
is also an expression of how she sees
the world around her: the art of nature,
the myths of the past, the
richness of different cultures and the
animal kingdom, all fuel her creativity.
Starting with a precious jewel, an exquisite
fossil or an historical treasure, each
piece has a story.
Avant-garde, her pieces of meticulous
craftsmanship, bold colour and material
combinations are globally identifiable,
to such an extent that when one of her
creations was found in a New York gutter
after being lost, the owner was able
to be sourced and reunited with her
jewel.
The significance of Elizabeth’s
work and the impact she has had on the
world of jewellery has been widely recognised
receiving, amongst other
accolades, the Queens Award for Export,
the De Beers Diamond Award for
her Agincourt ring and furthermore her
work features in the prestigious
Victoria and Albert Museum as part of
their permanent jewellery
collection.
