New England jewelry artist Stephanie Ann Leary's earliest memories are about creating something- a drawing, a painting or a piece of sculpture. She developed her passion for jewelry design and sculpture at Rochester Institute of Technology's School of American Crafts where she earned her BFA in jewelry and metalsmithing. Following her academic training, Stephanie Ann apprenticed under several acclaimed jewelry designers and metalsmiths. Following years of refining her skills and creative vision she now offers her designs through galleries and jewelry stores.

Stephanie Ann draws inspiration from the color, shape and texture of luminous pearls and brilliant gemstones. The beauty of each stone is enhanced by creative and skillful placement of its neighbors. Stephanie Ann employs only the highest quality semi-precious gems, freshwater pearls, 14k gold and sterling silver in her creations.

Careful handcrafting, quality materials and her creative vision make each piece uniquely attractive. Stephanie Ann's wish is that her work evokes as much joy in the wearing as it does in the making.
