She had a pioneering role in her profession, shaping generations of designers and artists. After many years of trying and experimenting, Elisabeth Treskow re-discovered the technique of Etruscan granulation. She worked for the upper-class and for the Church.

In 1977 she had already donated some of her collection of modern and antique jewellery and over 1300 of her designs are now in the collection of the Museum of applied Art (Museum für angewandte Kunst) Köln.
