Details
My work is about noticing the small details and creating something special that lasts for generations.
Inspired by morning woodland walks, I craft my jewellery collections with 100% recycled gold and silver. My designs are a little reminders of the changing seasons; acorns, sycamore seeds, flowers, bees and lots more lovely elements from my adventures and countryside garden.
Despite running my little business for 16 years, I never tire of turning tales into keepsakes and that's why I LOVE designing sentimental, bespoke jewellery. I specialise in engagement rings, wedding rings and heirloom remodels.
I work in my solar-powered garden studio, and all the water used in my making processes is rainwater from the roof!
My paintings explore a similar theme (you may have heard about my Tree Stories project). They’re about storytelling and capturing the feeling of being surrounded by nature, bringing that sense of calm and connection into your home.
For me, being an artist is about slowing down and paying attention. To the textures of leaves, the way light moves through the trees, the sentiment that a piece of jewellery can hold. My work is about connection to nature, to memories, and to the stories we carry with us.
Jeweller and Artist, bringing a little magic into your everyday.
Most of my time is spent working on bespoke jewellery. I love creating sentimental pieces inspired by your story.
I love to show my jewellery and paintings in exhibitions, find my instagram page to learn about upcoming events.
And I also spent time nurturing my creative ideas and launching new collections, see them a elizabethterzza.com.
I moved from Yorkshire to study Jewellery Design BA(hons) in Hereford and upon graduating I won an award with Alloy Jewellers and went on to become their Chairman for 4 years.
One of the best awards I won was the graduate bursary and sponsored stand at Goldsmiths Fair.
In the early stages of my career, I spent 5 years of working for other Jewellers (John Mckellar & Mike Gell).
I spent a lot of time refining my designs and was thrilled to be able to leave employment and run my creative business full time.
Over the years, I have exhibited and stocked work in over 50 shops and galleries.
In 2021 I created the shop at The Courtyard and helped over 160 small businesses and artists sell their work.
My paintings are a fairly new development, I have always painted, but decided to start exhibiting them when I joined Herefordshire Art and Craft Society.
In 2023 I was thrilled to win first prize for Herefordshire Art Week at The Old Mayors Parlour, awarded by the Church Street Charitable Trust.
I launched my first solo show at The Courtyard. Tree Stories in an ongoing project - you can find out more at elizabethterzza.com/pages/tree-stories
Now I am making jewellery full time (painting at weekends), and working with lovely private clients to create their dream bespoke jewels.

The Tree Stories project was exhibited in 2024 at The Courtyard and 2025 at Bloomspace with Artlandish.

I stock a handful of shops and galleries around the UK. You can find some of my work in the Alloy Showcases and The Courtyard.
But the best way to shop my collections is with a personal shopping experience. Get in touch and we can book an appointment for you to view and try on a selection of jewels.
