Lizzy James began in California in 2011, when artist Lizzy turned to creativity during breast cancer treatment. What started as something deeply personal became the first Lizzy James design — a leather wrap bracelet created to be worn two ways, wrapped around the wrist or styled as a necklace.
That one piece became The Original Convertible Wrap and the beginning of Lizzy James.
Rooted in resilience, creativity and self-expression from the very start, the idea behind the jewelry was simple: create pieces that are beautiful, versatile and meaningful enough to become part of the person who wears them.
Over the years, Lizzy James has grown far beyond that first wrap while staying true to what made it special.
Today, our collections include convertible wraps, bracelets, necklaces, anklets and other artisan jewelry designed for layering, living in and making your own. Natural gemstones, freshwater pearls, leather, mixed metals and meaningful details come together in pieces designed to reflect your individual style and story.
Some are bold. Some are beautifully simple. Many can be personalized. All are made with the belief that jewelry should feel as individual as the person wearing it.
Behind every Lizzy James piece are real hands.
Our jewelry is made to order by our team of skilled artisans in our San Diego, California studio, where pieces are assembled and finished one at a time rather than mass-produced.
That approach allows us to pay attention to the details — the materials, the fit, the finishing touches and the craftsmanship that make each piece distinctly Lizzy James.
It also means that when you choose Lizzy James, you're supporting something we care deeply about: meaningful employment for women artisans and the continuation of hands-on jewelry craftsmanship here in the United States.
We believe there is value in knowing that the jewelry you wear was made by a person — and that your purchase helps support the people and skills behind it.
More than a decade after that first bracelet was created, Lizzy James has entered a new chapter — with the same commitment to craftsmanship, individuality and meaningful design at its heart.
We're a small California business with a small team, and every order matters to us. From the hands that make your jewelry to the hands that carefully package it before it leaves our studio, there are real people behind every Lizzy James order.
We're continuing to evolve the collection while honoring what made Lizzy James special from the beginning: jewelry designed to move with you, mean something to you and tell a little piece of your story.
Because what began with one bracelet was never really just about jewelry.
It was about strength, creativity, individuality — and creating something meaningful.
Thank you for being part of the Lizzy James story.
