On July 2nd, 2026 I took my final GIA exam at the lab in New York City's Diamond District, finally becoming a Graduate Gemologist.

Beyond creating Fine Art Jewelry, social engagement and community building are core values of Dillon Rose.

Join us this Thursday to learn about Ancient Adornment with Anastasia Matveeva. 4-6pm at Dillon Rose Studio. 

Ten years ago today Dillon Rose was born. In the beginning our jewelry was crafted of found objects; feathers, shells, copper and sterling silver, adornments telling stories of connection between humans and nature. We sold on street corners, in cafes and art fairs across the country, often sleeping in our van to keep expenses down.

We took Monday off to go to the creek because we choose a life that prioritizes freedom over growth, quality over quantity. These are sentiments that we’ve lived by for years, long before they became popular buzzwords or ‘Slow Fashion’ was a hashtag. Sustainability is as much about the materials we use as the social expectations we place on ourselves while creating a luxury, fine jewelry brand and growing it here in America’s heartland.

Thank you Tulsa People for giving Tulsans an opportunity to select the creatives and businesses that bring quality to the lived experience.
