Rachel Rose Manchester Dazey
Born in Tulsa, Oklahoma, Rachel Rose Manchester Dazey is a multi-disciplinary artist rooted in America’s heartland. She is a professional goldsmith, jewelry designer and photographer and has received a diamond graduate degree from the Gemological Institute of America. Dazey creates adornments for the body as an exploration of our human connections. She considers jewelry as sculptural talismans, tokens that encourage a discovery of the world within; the universe within your being and its connection to the surrounding world.
In 2015 Dazey opened an independent art studio and gallery in downtown Tulsa and founded Dillon•Rose Fine Jewelry. Her area of focus is unique engagement rings and thematic jewelry collections. An advocate for the arts, Rachel has facilitated entrepreneurship training for artists in partnership with the Mid-America Arts Alliance.
