FORMATIVE YEARS
As a Colorado native, Neeley’s curiosity for geology and gemstones flourished in a naturally rich and inspiring mountain setting. Years of rock collecting and stone cutting progressed into jewelry making and by age 14, Neeley was presenting his jewelry at art shows from Aspen to Telluride. After graduating high school, he bolstered years of jewelry-making experience with a degree from GIA, an apprenticeship with Italian Master Goldsmith, further design studies in Florence, Italy and platinum-smithing studies in New York City. In 2006, Neeley founded his flagship jewelry atelier in Laguna Beach, CA.
