Jill Elizabeth doesn't do "floor sweeps" anymore. Now the entrepreneur, who dropped her last name from her professional moniker, buys by the gross from a sprawling warehouse in Providence, RI, "the costume jewelry capital of the US." The company began in 1984 by recycling old costume jewelry and today has a mailing list of more than 15,500 customers. The Liztech line has different pin designs and earring shapes that are all handmade. The pieces are inspired by the American Southwest, Egyptian and Indian mythology. Visit Artisan's Marketplace to see these and other fine pieces from Liztech, or see www.liztech.com. |
