Elisabeth von Treskow (1898-1992) was a German jewellery designer and had a workshop in Essen from 1919-1943. She is noted for having been particularly inspired by ancient Etruscan granulated gold jewellery and was one of the goldsmiths who re-introduced the granulation technique. Examples of Treskow's granulated jewellery date from as early as 1928 and comprise figurative representations of ancient subjects. From 1948 till 1964, Treskow was a professor at the School of Applied Arts in Cologne, after which she retired to devote her time to her art. In 1977, Treskow donated a collection of her work to the Kunstgewerbemuseum in Cologne along with a collection of ancient and antique jewellery she had amassed for study. She received numerous awards throughout her career.
