A Truly Unique Jewelry Experience
Danaca Design Studio is a Seattle-based space dedicated to the art of jewelry making. Since 2003, we’ve combined three core offerings under one roof: a small-scale metalworking classroom and studio, a jewelry tool supply shop, and a gallery featuring an exquisite selection of contemporary and traditional handmade jewelry by artists from across the U.S.
We host in-person and online exhibitions, special events, and an ever-changing selection of artisan jewelry. Whether you're a maker or an admirer, there's always something to discover.
