Ashley Vick earned her BFA in Metalsmithing from Massachusetts College of Art and Design in 2006. She launched Filomena DeMarco Jewelry soon after in 2009- an homage to her great grandmother, who was a massive source of inspiration for her and a fearless female entrepreneur at the turn of the last century. Vick’s jewelry is handmade Somerville, MA by the artist, whose eclectic personal style is mirrored by her edgy yet wearable, material-driven pieces. All of her pieces are handcrafted using sterling silver, gold, and/or natural gemstones and can be purchased in galleries nationwide.
