Hi everyone! My name is Elizabeth, but I like to go by Lizzie. I grew up in the Champlain Valley, nestled in the Adirondack Mountains.

Do you believe in the butterfly effect theory? I definitely do. My love of natural stones, minerals, and the natural world began with a degree in Geology. I learned so much and did the science thing for a while, but I never felt truly fulfilled. During this time, I met a silversmith who impacted and inspired me so deeply that for years, I always kept in the back of my mind "I want to be a silversmith." Post-pandemic, I moved back to the area and began exploring my artistic side more than ever. Each person I met on my journey and each little decision brought me to the moment where I finally began to devote myself to my dream.

I am a self-taught artist with help from others along the way. It is amazing to think that without my education, the wonderful people I've met, and all of the unique experiences thus far, I would not be the same person creating beauty to share with you all today.

The name of my business is a tribute to my Nana, one of the most artistic and creative people in my life. She was a woodworker, and her business was "The Finishing Touch." Although she practiced a different craft, I continue her legacy by working with my hands. This work requires careful skill, and I believe her passion for creativity, and savviness lives on within me.

Each work is made with traditional silversmith practices and is crafted with the utmost attention to detail. Every piece I create is small batched, making them truly one-of-a-kind. Please email for customs or questions, I would love to hear from you! Thank you for supporting my small business.

I handle returns on a case-by-case basis.

Please contact me within 7 days of receiving your item to discuss the matter. Please note that returns due to buyer’s remorse are not accepted. As I do not personally cut my own stones, I am unable to replace stones that may have broken over time. Any repair requests made beyond 7 days of receipt will be considered individually. Since repairs can be intricate and costly, I kindly ask that you handle your jewelry with care to avoid damage.
