Company History Lockwood Jewelers was established in 1978 by artist and jeweler Cheryl Wallace, as a jewelry design and repair studio. It was later expanded to include diamond sales, as well as fine colored stones and pearls. Cheryl earned a BFA from Drake Univerity in 1974, majoring in jewelry and silversmithing. She apprenticed as a bench jeweler at Josephs Jewelers in Des Moines, Iowa, from 1973 to 1978. Cheryl then opened her own shop, and has been creating fine jewelry for a coast to coast clientele ever since. |
