Elizabeth Benevich


Jewelry Designer~ Izabee Dezigns

I am so grateful for growing up in such an artistic and talented family. My father was a natural musician and artist, and fortunately, this was passed down to my brother and I, he the artist and I the musician. My mother fostered this creative spirit in us from an early age, enrolling us in art classes year after year at the University where we learned everything from drawing and painting with all media to working with clay. While my brother's natural talent developed into an amazing artistic ability, I found myself drawn to music, eventually becoming an accomplished musician on the piano, bassoon and concert percussion instruments.

Although I loved playing the instruments very much, something was missing. I never composed or wrote music; I just played the sheet music in front of me. My husband, who is not only a musician but a songwriter, understood my frustration and encouraged me to do something that I could create and call my own. I had begun buying the supplies needed to create designs before I even knew how to master a working piece of jewelry. My intent was to commission someone else to put the pieces together. With gentle persuasion, I made the choice to design and create the jewelry that haunted my visions.

“I appreciate the colors and feelings encountered in everyday life, and I recreate them in my jewelry designs.”

We all desire to express ourselves in different ways, and jewelry design is not only my form of expression; it enables me to help others express themselves. Just wearing the right accessory can enhance your entire attitude. It goes beyond how you look to how a piece makes you feel. You can get that special feeling from Izabee Dezigns, my hand crafted jewelry line, that is created with love and passion. I am excited to spread these feelings to others, and I am honored every time someone experiences my "dezigns". I hope you endure all wonderful things when wearing my pieces.
