Liz Palacios vintage costume jewelry
Vintage and antique jewelry collector since her teenage years, Elizabeth Palacios began creating brooches, earrings, necklaces and bracelets in her home studio in the mid-1980s. Initially, the self-taught designer sold her jewelry on the streets of San Francisco. Handcrafted with exquisite workmanship, in the tradition of vintage costume jewelry and with the use of high quality materials, her jewelry has become a success. The next logical step was the creation of her own jewelry company “Liz Palacios Designs LTD”, registered in 1987 at 1251 Howard St. San Francisco, California.
Traditionally, the designer preferred Swarovski crystals to rhinestones, and as a base she used metal alloys, bronze, brass, sterling silver, and 14-carat gold. Also, she used semi-precious cabochons, glitter enamels, faux pearls, mother-of-pearl, and art glass. Each piece has marking “LIZPALACIOS SF” in capital letters on oval base.
Noteworthy, the company provided a lifetime warranty for each design.
Founded in 1987, San Francisco California based jewelry company Liz Palacios Designs LTD ceased to exist in 2013.
