About Us

Our Story

Every piece we create begins with a story—and becomes part of yours.

In 2011, Elizabeth—known to friends and family as "Lizzy"—began creating jewelry by hand while undergoing breast cancer treatment. What started as a creative outlet became a symbol of resilience, hope, and the belief that even life's hardest moments can inspire something beautiful.

That spirit still guides everything we do today.

Every piece is handcrafted by local artisans in our Carlsbad, California studio. We take the time to create jewelry with intention—never mass-produced, always made with care.

Made with Heart. Made in America.

To us, Made in America is about people.

It's about preserving craftsmanship. It's about creating meaningful work for talented artisans in our community. It's about knowing the hands that carefully make each piece, one at a time. It's about creating jewelry that becomes part of someone else's story—not simply another product.

We're still a small business, so every order makes a real difference. Every purchase helps support the artisans who handcraft your jewelry today and brings us one step closer to welcoming even more talented makers into our Carlsbad studio tomorrow.

Our signature wrap bracelet—designed to be worn as both a bracelet and a necklace—reflects everything we believe in: beautiful, versatile jewelry that's made to be lived in, loved, and worn your way.

When you choose Lizzy James, you're choosing more than handcrafted jewelry. You're choosing American craftsmanship, supporting a small business, and helping preserve the artistry and care that go into every piece we make.

Knowing that each piece becomes part of our customers' own stories is what inspires us every day. Thank you for letting us be a small part of yours.
