Michael S
Gold & Platinumsmith
I’m a third-generation bench jeweler who grew up in the family business - jewelry school, for me, was the basement of our house. From a young age, I was immersed in the craft, learning the trade at my father’s costume jewelry business. Over the years, I’ve built a diverse career freelancing for design houses and servicing several well-known retailers. In the past decade, I’ve made the transition into fine jewelry and found a home at Green Lake Jewelry Works.
Outside of work, I’m also an illustrator, musician, and occasional voice actor. Originally from Rhode Island, I moved to Seattle to explore new places and connect with new people. I find inspiration in the idea that jewelry gives us a unique window into someone’s personality and emotions. The most rewarding part of what I do is helping clients bring their vision to life - transforming abstract ideas into beautiful, wearable pieces that make them feel truly confident.
