Fall is the perfect time to try some gorgeous, original
jewelry.
Lee Jewelers of the Hamptons in New York creates original jewelry with unique designs ahead of his time. Lee Elliot began his craft in the 60s in Greenwich Village where people could get cool designs with gemstones, gold, platinum, silver and other metals and semi-precious stones.
Lee starting working on handmade rings and bands, trying funky
designs and sculpting smooth asymmetry. He moved on to creating wire and
hammered disk jewelry in all ways- chains, rings, bracelets, pendants,
necklaces and more.
The amazing thing about Lee is his disabled right hand shows
lots of love in all his designs. A prosthetic was never an option for him as he
began his own designs as a teen, and his shop eventually became his dream in
Sag Harbor.
When putting on these pieces, you can feel the love that has
gone into creating these original products. All kinds of looks find their way
into Lee’s designs, especially nautical designs. Being by the sea in the
gorgeous village of Sag Harbor, how could he not?!
Lee’s daughter Dori is part of the jewelry world and has been around handmade crafts ever since she was a very tiny baby. She started
her career working in the Southampton location Lee Gallery at age 14, and
wanted to follow in the creative path of her parents.
She carefully watched her father Lee sculpt rings and her
mother Terry wire-wrap stones and metals. She then went on start her own line
of fun, unique jewelry- creating each piece with a personal touch.
The Elliott family also works together to promote all
jewelry in the Hamptons store, designing pieces together, sometimes
collaborating Lee's hammered metal circles with Dori's wire wrapped gemstones.
The Elliott family also loves the Sag Harbor community and stays active in ton.
Lee supports The Retreat of East Hampton for prevention of domestic violence
and attends the school’s Career Day to show children that everyone can get past
their differences because we are all different, and be awesome!
If you are looking for a one-of-a-kind, customized piece for
yourself or as a gift, Lee Jewelers can create it!
