Hi! I’m DANA MICHELLE!

From wire-wrapping rocks with my aunt as a child, then silversmithing in my early years, to working with fine jewels today — it has always led back to the stone.

Whether it’s jasper from Montana, a fleck of gold from a North Carolina riverbed, or sapphires and emeralds sourced from Sri Lanka and Zambia, I’m drawn to materials shaped slowly by time and carried across cultures and continents.

Today its the work I wake up to.

After years as a private jeweler, one thing is clear: jewelry isn’t just worn. It’s chosen, cared for, loved, kept.

VAULT 88 is simple at its core— natural stones, solid 18K gold, bold color, and design that lasts.
