About Dante Perozzi Jewelry
Sculptural jewelry for a more artful everyday
Rooted in bold design and crafted with care, our pieces transform daily moments into extraordinary, artful experiences.
Dante Perozzi Jewelry was born from a love of sculpture and a desire to create wearable art. Founded by Dante Perozzi, a sculptor turned jeweler, began in a small Venice Beach apartment where Dante made her first collection by translating her sculptural ideas into wearable sculptures.
Our Values
At the heart of DPJ is a commitment to:
- Sustainability: Using materials that are eco-conscious and long-lasting, including brass, sterling silver, gold, and gold-filled metals.
- Craftsmanship: Handcrafted designs that blend traditional techniques with modern innovation.
- Empowerment: Creating bold, wearable art that inspires confidence and self-expression.
- Community: Building connections through meaningful collaborations and customer relationships.
The Process
Every DPJ piece starts with playing with wax forms or as a sketch, inspired by the textures, shapes, and forms that speak to Dante. Moving through the process of bringing a design to finished piece is all done in-house by hand in the studio, ensuring attention to detail and the highest quality. We embrace the imperfections of handmade work that emphasizes the uniqueness of every design.
