It couldn’t have been easy for artist and animator Michael Daley to choose a ring when he proposed to jewelry artist Meghan Patrice Riley. The woman is remarkably learned about the history of her craft. She talks vintage eras the way Guy Fieri talks grease.

We chatted in her corner of a shared studio space on Wednesday morning. The visit flowed into over an hour and a half of conversation and dress-up, the space between us filled with household names like W and Women’s Wear Daily, industry leaders like Lynne Christiansen, and respected resources like Dianne’s Estate Jewelry.
