Deborah Marchese

Deborah Marchese is a local artist out of Melbourne Beach, Florida, specializing in Jewelry making and design. Her unique pieces are created using a variety of techniques including lapidary, wire wrapping, silversmithing, intarsia, chainmaille, and filigree.

Deborah grew up in Sparta, New Jersey. Upon graduation from college, she located to Cocoa Beach and entered the corporate world while retaining her true love and passion for jewelry making and design. She entered the nuclear energy field and worked in various supervisory roles for 25 years. Upon her retirement in 2005, she relocated back to the Melbourne Beach area and was able to focus on her passion: making jewelry creations.

Deborah makes her creations using only 14K gold-filled wire, and Sterling Silver. For her ear wires, she uses Hypoallergic Sterling Silver (Argentium) exclusively, so that anyone can enjoy wearing her creations.   Most lapidary work is created by Deborah herself. She cuts the rough, shapes and then polishes them to create her cabochons. Her clasps are also of high quality and allow for ease in putting on and removal.  She states, “I want my creations to take on a life of its own.” Her love and passion for jewelry making and design can be seen in all her necklaces, pendants, rings, earrings and bracelets.
