When Stephanie found herself back in Southern California after graduating college, she landed a job at a boutique Fashion, Lifestyle and Beauty PR Firm promoting an array of beautiful products. However, the firm’s client roster was missing a jewelry brand. Therefore, when the editors and stylists Stephanie met with requested the jewelry line that she herself was wearing, she said “No problem, we can get you some more of this jewelry”. So in that year (2004-2005), Stephanie found herself sending jewelry to celebrities such as Faith Hill, Paula Abdul, Alicia Keys and Drew Barrymore. And when Joss Stone wore a collection of Stephanie’s necklaces for her performance at the Grammy’s in 2005, it seemed that perhaps designing and selling jewelry might be the better career path than promoting other designers’ products. And so, Elizabeth Cole was born in May 2005.
