Silversmith & Jeweler Michele Armitano
My name is Michele Armitano, and I am a silversmith and jeweler.
Art has always been a part of me. It is difficult to explain precisely how or why, but it has served as a consistent rock—a safe place—for me over the years. Even when circumstances make it difficult to pursue my passion, art remains an innate element of my life. For over forty years, I have been creating jewelry and practicing silversmithing. My jewelry is a real reflection of the different moments in my life, and I look at my pieces as reminders or representations of where I have been.

Rhode Island Jeweler Darrien Segal
My name is Darrien, and I am a jeweler.
However, if you knew me as a young girl, you might not have predicted that. When my parents met in San Francisco in the ‘60s, they attended a Grateful Dead concert, bought a boat, and then sailed off into the glittering horizon. They took a pitstop in Hawaii for my birth, and I spent my childhood playing with our German Shepherd in the hull of our old wooden sailboat. I had not yet been exposed to art, but I was also sheltered from the normalized, corporate nine-to-five lifestyle—unlike other children, I never had those expectations placed upon me.
