Meet Dante

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.

• Dante was born in Harare, Zimbabwe, but grew up in the U.S. Traveling frequently between the two continents exposed her to different cultures and artistic influences.
  
• In her early years, Dante lived on a sailboat and traveled with her family before settling into middle school, a lifestyle that instilled a deep appreciation for nature and exploration.  
  
• Dante was born with seven fingers, a unique feature that she attributes to her lifelong creativity. Growing up in a world where most people have ten fingers, she was constantly finding inventive ways to adapt—something that fueled her imaginative and problem-solving abilities, which she channels into every piece of jewelry she creates.
