About the Maker

Liz Deane

I am a 2017 graduate of B Golden Jewelry School's Business Accelerator Program in Salt Lake City, Utah and have taken many classes and workshops from some of the best jewelers from around the country. I have worked with several local jewelry stores as a jewelry production assistant, and have been an instructor at B Golden Jewelry School in Salt Lake City, UT & Austin, TX. Most recently, I was an adjunct professor at Salt Lake Community College; teaching their Jewelry Arts Class. 

I currently live in the Colorado Rockies with my husband & cat.

Awards: 2018 STUDENT SCHOLARSHIP RECIPIENT FROM THE WOMENS JEWELRY ASSOCIATION

My Creative Process: 

I acquire most of my precious metals from Rio Grande. An American company with an excellent reputation for being environmentally friendly which is important to me as an artist. I source many of my stones straight from Mother Earth herself or purchase them from reputable stone sellers. 

I rarely sketch my designs. My ideas for jewelry are all swimming around in my head until I sit down at my home studio bench and spill it out. When I'm not making, I'm teaching jewelry making workshops and group classes in and around Grand County, CO.
