about the jeweler

Heather Oleari is a Private Jeweler and Goldsmith specializing in Custom Design and One-of-a-Kind Fine jewelry. Her passion for fabrication and all things Jewelry, began in high school when she completed her first chasing and repoussé project, a piece she treasures to this day. In College, Heather realized that she could combine her passion for Science with her passion for Jewelry to create wearable art. She accepted an apprenticeship with a Private Jeweler in Denver, Colorado, and fell in love with every aspect of jewelry-making.

After completing her BFA in Jewelry and Metalsmithing from the Metropolitan State College of Denver, she continued her education in filigree and engraving at SACI in Florence, Italy and worked as a studio assistant at Fuji Studios in Florence. A lover of learning, Heather is constantly expanding her skill set in order to properly bring her ideas to life in metal.

A believer in the strong sentimental value of jewelry as future heirlooms, Heather draws upon personal details to make custom pieces that are both intimate and meaningful. She creatively collaborates with each individual client to capture a sentiment, celebrate an occasion, or mark a time and place. Her work communicates sentiment and mood with a strong focus on wearability.
