Our Story
The story of Marblehead Custom Jewelry began in a home studio in 2012, rooted in Steven Manchini’s dedication to the art of fine jewelry. This passion grew into a partnership with fellow artisan Ernie Thomas and, with the operational direction of Maria Demos, evolved into the vision for our Washington Street atelier. Our shared desire was to create a different kind of experience: a comfortable, alternative showroom where clients can relax and discuss their bespoke design directly with the jeweler. The addition of GIA Graduate Gemologist Graham Henderson completes our team, ensuring every client receives comprehensive, expert counsel from start to finish.
We invite you to our Washington Street showroom and studio to experience the dedication, artistry, and trust that define us. Your journey into the world of fine custom jewelry begins here.
