Nestled on a tiny street in Mayfair, Elizabeth Gage, the Grand Dame of fine jewelry in England is going strong almost 50 years since she became a master goldsmith. Described as a jewelry designer, ‘whose large rings, historical references, gorgeous stones and elaborate craftsmanship set the tone for a whole generation” she ids that rare combination of mastery of her medium and true creative spirit. Knocked-off even by other famous designers, Gage is still going strong with iconic designs that are laden with historical references, beautiful carvings, baroque pearls and exquisite stones. Her “look” is unmistakable. Gage’s work has not gone unnoticed, and she has her designs in the V & A and proudly accepted the Queen’s Award for export achievement and has been given the title of MBE by the house of Windsor. Now if only we can stop the other lesser designers who routinely knock off this spirited and creative designer who forged a whole new look for precious jewelry.
