Michael S
Gold & Platinumsmith



Michael, a third-generation bench jeweler, grew up in the family business, where jewelry school was his childhood basement. From a young age, he immersed himself in the craft, learning the trade at his father's costume jewelry business. Over the years, Michael has built an impressive career, freelancing for design houses and servicing multiple renowned retailers. In the past decade, Michael has transitioned into fine jewelry, finding a home at Green Lake Jewelry Works!

Outside of his professional life, Michael is an illustrator, musician, and occasional voice actor. A Rhode Island native, he moved to Seattle to explore new places and meet new people. He finds inspiration in the idea that jewelry offers a unique window into someone's outlook and feelings. For Michael, the most rewarding part of his job is helping clients realize their vision, transforming abstract ideas into beautiful pieces that people can wear and feel confident in!
