ELIZABETH SHOWERS: Monday, December 14th
Elizabeth’s purpose is to empower all women to feel beautiful which she came to realize in her recovery from an eating disorder in her youth. It was through this journey and through her gift of jewelry design that she decided to use jewelry as a vehicle for her mission. Finding inspiration from her extensive travels, architecture, and her fascination with feminine shapes and colors found in nature, she creates jewelry with gorgeous gemstones and diamonds set in 18-karat yellow gold. The beautiful color combinations, fresh versatility, and the placement of her Hope Star throughout the collection have become her trademark and a reminder for all women to feel beautiful inside and out.
