Elisabeth Soscia

Designer & Creator

My passion for jewelry and creating with my hands began after taking my first Jewelry/Metalsmithing class in 9th grade.  I then pursued my love of design and fine craft through a degree from R.I.T's prestigious School for American Craftsmen in Rochester, NY. Over the following 20 years I have been given amazing opportunities to work side by side with some of the most talented master goldsmiths, stone setters, artists, designers and craftspeople in the industry.  Every one of them have played an integral role in shaping who I have become as master jeweler, artist and craftsperson and I feel deeply grateful for their sharing of knowledge and opportunities. 

 

I now create out of my own boutique jewelry design studio here in the extraordinarily beautiful Colorado Springs, CO.  In creating and designing my jewelry I aspire to accentuate the connection between the natural beauty all around us and the inner beauty of the wearer.
