Locke is celebrated for giving rare and historic materials new life within her handmade jewelry designs. Micromosaics, composed of tiny pieces of enameled-glass tesserae, became prized keepsakes among Grand Tour travelers, who journeyed through Europe, especially Italy, as part of their cultural education from the 17th through the 19th centuries. Long fascinated by the art form, Locke has collected and reimagined antique micromosaics, bridging centuries-old craftsmanship with a distinctly modern sense of wearability.
