Kelly Bussio began her second career as a silversmith in 2018, driven by a deep appreciation for beautiful stones and bold, expressive design. Her work is characterized by strong, sculptural forms that often feature unique stones from her extensive personal collection.

In addition to fulfilling custom commissions, Kelly has mentored many emerging jewelers and expanded her role into formal instruction through teaching. A lifelong learner, she continually hones her craft by taking advanced classes and exploring new techniques.
