Designer Interview
Lizzie Mandler: "When the jewellery gets purchased by some else, it is no longer about me or my brand at all. It is about what happens to this piece of jewellery in that person’s life and how it comes to take on a life and meaning of its own."
How did you get into jewellery?
I started designing and making semi precious and beaded jewellery when I was 12, and I got into fine jewellery at 16 when I started studying as a bench jeweller. Once I started with fine jewellery, I knew it was exactly what I wanted to pursue as a career. I studied as a bench jeweller locally in Santa Monica, and in college I moved to Florence, Italy for a year, and studied at a small artisan school. When I came back and graduated from university a year later, I launched the collection.
And your inspiration?
I’ve never had one singular source of inspiration, I am more inspired by the way jewellery lays on the body and the way we come to adapt jewellery as part of our wardrobes. Even more than just a wardrobe, it becomes a second skin to people and something that people wear religiously. There’s no one source, the key for me is I have to put myself in an environment where I am creative, and I have realised in the last few years that I have to remove myself from my office and from LA in order to get to that place.
