New England jewelry artist Stephanie Leary developed her passion for jewelry design and sculpture at Rochester Institute of Technology's School of American Crafts receiving a BFA degree in Jewelry Design and Metalsmithing. She spent the next few years gaining more experience by apprenticing under several acclaimed jewelry designers and metalsmiths.     

Over the past several years Stephanie has offered her unique line of jewelry through jewelry stores and galleries. The Stephanie Ann Jewelry collection is inspired by the unique forms, textures and patterns found in nature and the beauty of luminous pearls and brilliant gemstones.  Each piece is hand fabricated and incorporates the highest quality semi-precious gems, freshwater pearls, 14k gold and sterling silver.

Stephanie enjoys sharing her metalsmithing experience and knowledge with others.  She has taught jewelry and metalsmithing at Northshore Community College, The Artroom, Newburyport Adult Education and Burlington Recreational. She currently teaches classes and workshops at her studio located in Newburyport, MA.
