ABOUT

"Since my earliest recollection, a passion for fashion and jewelry has embellished my heart. As a jewelry designer, my work is deeply influenced by a fusion of materials and eras. I am particularly drawn to the boldness and experimental spirit of the 60’s, 70’s + 80's iconic fashion, music and design."

Rae earned a BFA in jewelry design and ceramics studying at New York City's School of Visual Arts and graduating with honors from Moore College of Art + Design in Philadelphia.

Rae honed her technical skills as a silver and goldsmith on Philadelphia's famous Jeweler's Row. Her training at a renowned fine Jewelry House taught her the art of refinement and restraint.

With these influences in mind I have created a line of ethically crafted jewelry combining modern and ancient techniques through symbolic and harmonious alchemy.

In a world full of mass-produced objects, I prefer to highlight the "maker's mark" in this work. This approach celebrates the polished imperfections of hand-cast adornments, creating timeless talismans meant to be cherished for generations.

Rae's creative process unfolds within the walls of her Marin County, California studio, where she designs every piece for Studio Vittorelli.

Her work can be experienced in person at the her showroom in the the arts district of downtown San Rafael.
