Meet the Designer
A fine jewelry studio, founded by Ashley Attianese.
Ashley studied at the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York and began her career in product development, learning how fine jewelry is designed, costed, and brought into production.
She went on to train at the Gemological Institute of America and to work across design, production, and the business of high jewelry.
In an industry that changes by the season, she has always cared most about what doesn't: the quality of the stone, the strength of the setting, and the care in how a piece is made.
After years of building brands for others, she started her own. Zachary Jude is based in Miami, a studio for commissions where every piece is designed with the person who will wear it.
The Name
Some names are meant to be carried.
Zachary Jude is named after Ashley's late father, Jude, and her brother, Zachary. They live on in everything she makes.
Loving them taught her what a piece of jewelry can hold. A ring worn every day becomes part of the person who wears it: the hand you held, the warmth you remember, the gesture you would know anywhere. It keeps something of them close, always.
That is why every Zachary Jude piece is made to be handed down. Not kept in a drawer, but worn, loved, and given again, so the people we love stay close to the people who come after them.
Zachary Jude was built in their memory.
The Making
Every commission begins with a conversation and a sketch. Each stone is selected and examined before it is set.
Each piece is made by master jewelers, at benches trusted by some of the most respected names in fine jewelry. It is cast in solid gold or platinum, set and polished by hand, and inspected once more before it is delivered.
Craftsmanship is what you notice years later: a setting that still sits true, a clasp that still closes cleanly, a stone that has never moved.
