Meet the owner: Master Jeweler Chad Elliott

Master Jeweler Chad Elliott is creating art – not on canvas with oils, but with precious metals and stones. He has worked at his craft for over 35 years, beginning his career at age 12, when he first worked as an apprentice in a store owned by two family friends.

Chad Elliott’s work has been pictured in countless jewelry trade magazines and top fashion publications world wide.

Chad Elliott has manufactured jewelry for many designer brands in all colors of 14kt, 18kt, and 22kt gold, including Platinum. These designer brands which ranged in styles from the very refined to the rustic and from ornate antique reproductions to the organics of nature have sold through notable fine designer stores. Many pieces of jewelry manufactured by Chad Elliott for these designer brands are worn and cherished by their celebrity owners and Hollywood’s elite.

Chad enjoys the process of working with clients to create unique pieces, beginning with sketches, then the CAD models, the rough casting, and finally the finished product.

“Being a master jeweler, not only can I create custom pieces using both new technology as well as hand work, but it also means that over my lifetime I’ve become more knowledgeable and creative in the art of custom jewelry.”
