About Lloyds Limited...
"Every piece of jewelry on this web site was designed exclusively for our company by me, personally, or by one of my in–house artists, and was meticulously hand–finished in my design studio." I am always creating new designs, and as time permits I have added them to my website. If there is a particular animal or design that you cannot find on this site, please feel free to contact me. Perhaps I have already created one and just haven’t gotten it on my site yet, or------just maybe you can talk me into adding your request to my to-do list! Evan Lloyd How Lloyds Limited began I began my company in 1975 with a great love of nature and a desire to create only the very best marine life and wildlife jewelry. I was living on the big Island of Hawaii and was doing a great deal of diving with the local fisherman. I found that I had a real need to share the beauty I was seeing in the water with the rest of the world. After 30 years my company consists of a select group of extremely well–trained and creative jewelers who all share my love for the things of nature. Back when I was getting started there were very few jewelers creating marine life and wildlife pieces. While they seem abundant today, most of them seem to show very little understanding or love of the animals they are trying to depict. I feel that when you select a piece of jewelry for yourself or as a gift, it should be the very best, something you will cherish with pride for years. Lloyds Limited is considered the finest Marine Life & Wildlife Jeweler After 30 years of creating marine and wildlife designs, it is no surprise to me that my ever–growing collection is still considered the finest. My rule is, don’t ever sell something that I am not totally proud of. From the first–ever gold whale tails to my latest dolphins, turtles and seahorses I have always prided myself in offering you the most highly–detailed and finely–finished pieces of jewelry available. After you inspect the fine artistry of my designs on this site, I am sure you will agree that they are outstanding. When you get to hold one of my designs in your hand you will know what I mean when I say that pictures just can’t capture the true dynamics of these pieces. We started out as Mauna Loa Jewelers Back in the seventies when I started designing my collection, I had named my business "Mauna Loa Jewelers." I was living on the slopes of Mauna Loa, a sometimes-active volcano in Hawaii, and the name just seemed right. It was several years before I started to offer my collection outside of the state of Hawaii, but when I did I realized that people were having a hard time pronouncing and remembering my company name. I solved that by renaming the it first "Evan Lloyd Designs" and then simply "Lloyds Limited." Each piece bears the “MLJ” Trademark Every piece I create comes with an “MLJ” trademark. You will also notice that every design carries a © inside it. That is the official notification that the design is copyrighted and cannot be reproduced without my written permission. Jewelry is the "Gift of Love." Jewelry is a reflection of the designer and the person who wears it, as well as the person who gives it as a gift. We wear it to show who we are and what we love. We wear it to honor our hobbies and the societies and values we support. We wear it to honor the special events in our lives. I love what I create and hope that you will also. Jewelry is truly a gift of love. One–week inspection period and lifetime guarantee With every purchase, I offer a one–week inspection period. If, for any reason, you are not totally satisfied with your purchase, please contact us, or simply return it to me for a full refund. I guarantee my designs to be free from any manufacturer's defects for life. (I guess that means my life.)
