Lisa Eldridge Designs Rings for William Welstead: Details
Lisa Eldridge, creative director of Lancome Cosmetics, isn’t just one of the most celebrated names in the beauty biz and the YouTube world — she’s also a jewelry designer too.
The iconic makeup aficionado who boasts infinite Vogue covers and celebrity clientele that includes Keira Knightley, Kate Winslet and Lily Collins, also happens to have excellent taste in jewelry. This is perhaps best exemplified by her signature William Welstead gemstone stacking rings that fans first got a taste of in nearly every single one of her YouTube tutorials (she has 1.8 million subscribers on the platform, NBD). And now, Eldridge has teamed up with Welstead (who also happened to be commissioned to design her wedding ring), to design her own collection of sustainably-sourced gemstone rings that were inspired by her celebrity clients and famous muses.
Aside from the serious glam factor, there’s another amazing bright side to the Lisa Eldridge for William Welstead collection: with pricing starting at $450, Lisa’s baubles are significantly more affordable than Welstead’s original collection. Naturally, Eldridge fans, who have even remarked on Reddit that they love the sound of her stacking rings lightly clinking together in her tutorials, are in for a treat.
So what can jewelry collectors and beauty obsessees expect from Eldridge’s designs? For starters, cushion cut and oval gold and silver rings with colored gemstones. For example, prasiolite rings are named Kate (for Winslet), deep purple Iolite are named Elizabeth (inspired by Taylor’s violet eyes), rhodolite garnet rings are called Isabelle (for Rosselini), golden quartz is named Lily (for Collins), green tourmaline is named Marlena (for Dietrich) — the list goes on and on.

But being a beauty girl first and foremost, Eldridge added some exquisite cosmetics-inspired details to her new rings. Her packing for the baubles was inspired by a 1920s rouge pot that is part of Eldridge’s expansive vintage makeup collection. Every ring purchased will come small hand-crafted boites in blush shades of soft vegan suede and include powder-puff toppers in sage green, lavender and pink.
If that’s not luxury fit for a celebrity, we don’t know what is.
