About the Jeweler
I’m Chuck Domitrovich. I live and work in the heart of New York’s beautiful Hudson Valley with my wife and business partner, Corinne, and our dog Emma. I’ve been creating and selling jewelry unique, handcrafted gold and silver wedding bands and engagement rings from my small jewelry studio for over twenty years. In addition to my wedding collection, I also create wearable everyday jewelry and art pieces that are fun and unexpected. I am drawn to the mechanics of jewelry and the challenge of making intricate pieces that require planning, forethought, and experimentation. I am proud to say that my work can be found in the collections of several prestigious institutions, including the Swiss National Museum and the Renwick Gallery of the Smithsonian American Art Museum.
I stumbled into metalsmithing while attending the University of Washington. I wanted to find an art class to fill a hole in my schedule, but the only course that fit was An Introduction To Jewelry Making. With no knowledge of or interest in jewelry, I was skeptical. But I signed up and I’ve never looked back. I found I loved working with traditional jewelers’ tools and materials. I enjoyed the intricate scale of the work. Metal was the perfect medium for my skill set: curiosity, patience, and attention to detail.
All of the work in my shop is mine, made from my own designs. Any components I use were designed by me and are made from prototypes that I have created myself, by hand, from metal, using traditional jewelry making techniques.
