Deborah Meyers is a goldsmith and studio jeweler based in New York City specializing in luxurious artisanal jewelry. Her fascination with gold and gems began as a child with the family lore about Grandma Belle’s Van Cleef & Arpels’ “Umbrella” ring. Exposure to influential designers such as Van Cleef & Arpels and Bill Blass, among others, helped to hone her personal sense of style and fuel her fire for true craftsmanship at a young age.

Deborah’s education spans across multiple mediums from The Drama Studio in London to a Bachelor’s in Psychology from Hunter College in New York, and a Master of Theological Studies degree from Harvard Divinity School. Additionally, she’s studied with a few Master Jewelers, most notably Cecelia Bauer for ancient goldsmithing techniques and Chie Teratani and Bianca Lopez for wax carving. Her education, along with her artistic studies and training, have made her one of the more philosophical goldsmiths working today. In 2019, she was featured in Forbes Magazine for her work using ethically sourced Canadian diamonds, sustainably mined Brazilian tourmalines and other gemstones she uses to great artistic effect.
