Adel Chefridi grew up in Tunisia, Carthage-Tunis, surrounded by the the stories and artifacts of many rich cultures, including the Phoenicians, Romans, Byzantines, Arabs, Andalusians, and Ottomans. When Adel came to New York City in 1998 and witnessed the richness of all the different faces and flavors, he felt right at home. Soon after, he started his jewelry studio, and continued on his path using beauty as his language. Inspired by the tranquil surroundings of the Hudson Valley, he and his wife relocated in 2008 to raise their two daughters. His jewelry is a beautiful mix of sterling silver and 18k gold that features exquisite gemstones, detailed etching and patterns, and one-of-a-kind designs.

Austin Titus is a jewelry designer from Richmond, Virginia. She finds beautiful juxtaposition between the industrial elements of living in a historical city contrasted with the natural world around her. When she is not in her studio she enjoys walking the city streets with her dog, Lola. Her studio is located in the historic neighborhood of Church Hill, in Richmond VA. She fabricates her jewelry using reclaimed sterling silver, karat golds and an array of semi precious stones selected for color, character and even imperfections. Her work is influenced by old world textures and details yet always with the desire to keep a contemporary edge. "I find beauty in the imperfect, tactile nature of an object that has been handmade—raw edges, hammer and file marks—these are the signature of the maker and a timeline of the process." - Austin Titus

Lorri Primavera is a jewelry maker and a part of a vibrant artist community near Philadelphia, PA. She’s a firm believer in “less is more” and thinks that what is left out of a piece is just as, or more, important than what is included. Her process is intuitive and begins with shape and color but ultimately is about the wearer and how they will feel in one of her pieces. She strives to create jewelry that rise above trends and has a lasting aesthetic. It is a very intimate process from start to finish.

She graduated from Parsons School of Design and spent over a decade in New York before moving to Chicago.

Designer Michael Michaud's botanical jewelry captures nature's beauty and detail using soft patinas on bronze and accents of pearls, glass, and stones. The Silver Seasons collection is made by creating molds directly from botanical elements in a process similar to lost-wax casting. A mold is created around the botanical element, and as it is heated, the plant matter burns away and leaves behind a beautifully detailed mold of itself. Starting with this process, all Silver Seasons jewelry is handcrafted in New York.
