Uniting powerful stories from the past and present
ExVoto creates and curates jewelry and apparel that allows you to tell your story and spark connection. We revel in the lost arts and prefer to do things the right way, not the easy way. We believe in the transformative power of creativity and know that with the right outfit, you can set the world on fire.
"Pearls are always appropriate."

When Elizabeth Adams was born, her father’s mentor gave her a locket and a small card with the handwritten blessing: “May your life be as beautiful as you are.” She has come to see that while life is not always easy, it can be beautiful.
The daughter of two artists, Elizabeth was encouraged to be actively creating at an early age. Growing up in a historic neighborhood in the south, she came to appreciate fine craftsmanship and the patina that comes only from time.
In 2009, after losing her young daughter to a brain tumor, Elizabeth created ExVoto Vintage Jewelry. ExVoto, which means a testament of gratitude, is a collection of one-of-a-kind and limited edition pieces designed by Elizabeth from antique elements. ExVoto gives a portion of sales to The Cure Starts Now Foundation for pediatric brain cancer research.
ExVoto Vintage is proud to be a member of the Female Founder Collective which is a network of businesses led by women, supporting women. Their mission is to enable and empower female-owned and led businesses to positively impact our communities, both socially and economically.
