ABOUT
Rae Vittorelli is a trained jeweler and artist with a BFA in Jewelry Design. Rae began her career as a bench jeweler in a fine jewelry house in Philadelphia. After several years working in the jewelry industry, illness forced her to step away from the bench. She went on to work in various design fields, and after relocating to Northern California, she has spent over eight years with a high-end residential Architecture and Interior Design firm, where she works as a designer today.
It was in Northern California that Rae was finally diagnosed with late-stage Lyme co-infections and was successfully treated with a combination of herbal modalities and Bee Venom Therapy. With her health restored, she returned to her jeweler’s bench.
Rae holds fast to an old-world belief: even the most practical objects should be crafted with care and adorned with beauty. She draws inspiration from her lifelong love of vintage fashion, ornate architectural details, and unique textiles.
From her Marin County atelier Studio Vittorelli, Rae continues to create jewelry, unique metalwork like BIJOUX BUCKLES and handcrafted leather accessories that merge symbolism, sentiment, and artistry.
