RAFFAELLA STELLO, a native italian, is from Tessera, a small town just outside Venice. After she graduated from a Technical Institute for Tourism in Venice, she worked in the Travel Industry for 13 years first, as front office agent, and then as an accountant, until she moved to the US in 2015.

She collaborated and traveled a lot as a volunteer with a small italian NGO organization in Central America and Africa. While traveling the world, she developed a love for the art of making jewelry. She now works in her Studio as an artisan and, among other techniques, she combines her own designs with many sterling silver handcraft components and the traditional Murano Glass from Venice.
