Elizabeth Gage MBE has enjoyed a glittering career as the brilliant mind behind some of the greatest jewellery designs of the past 60 years. Her work is revered for combining historical references with a modern aesthetic and marrying strong design concepts with sublime craftsmanship. Telling the story of her rise to become one of London’s most celebrated jewellers, this stunning monograph showcases Elizabeth Gage’s finest handmade creations, including gold rings, necklaces and earrings, bracelets shaped like autumn leaves, tourmaline cabochons engraved with trees, diamond-studded fish carrying pearls in their tails and Roman coins set in agate coat pins.
Featured in the permanent collection of the V&A and exhibited around the world, her pieces have been worn by the likes of Jackie Kennedy and Lauren Bacall and treasured, according to The New York Times, by those seeking greater ‘strength, originality, storytelling.’
