GOLDSMITH · PLATINUMSMITH · DESIGNER
Meet David Adams
For more than 30 years, David Adams has created fine jewelry by hand in the heart of Fayetteville, combining traditional goldsmithing techniques with a distinctly personal approach to design.
A TRADITION OF CRAFT
The Lost Art of Hand-Fabricated Jewelry
David’s training began with German-trained stone setter Joseph Sauer, where he spent four years learning the intricacies of traditional stone setting.
He later apprenticed under master goldsmith Orlando Feriozzi, who brought generations of Italian goldsmithing tradition with him from Rome. Feriozzi taught the hand-fabrication techniques used by European masters—methods built around forming precious metal by hand rather than relying on mass-production techniques.
Those years of training and apprenticeship became the foundation for David’s approach to jewelry making and continues to influence the work created in his Fayetteville workshop today.
FROM CALIFORNIA TO ARKANSAS
A New Home in Fayetteville
After years of training in California, David brought his craft to Northwest Arkansas, settling in Fayetteville and opening David Adams Fine Jewelry in 1994.
What began as a small jewelry business grew alongside the community, moving through several locations before finding its current home on the Historic Downtown Fayetteville Square. Through the years, the location may have changed, but David’s approach has remained remarkably consistent: know the people you’re creating for, make things well, and create jewelry meant to last.
Today, more than three decades later, David Adams Fine Jewelry remains a family-run Fayetteville business with the workshop at the heart of it all.
THREE DECADES LATER
Still Made Here
Today, David Adams Fine Jewelry remains a working jewelry studio in the heart of Downtown Fayetteville. Custom pieces are designed and fabricated in-house, repairs and restorations are handled at the bench, and customers can work directly with the people creating and caring for their jewelry.
From a new engagement ring to a family heirloom that has been worn for generations, the same attention to craftsmanship that shaped David’s early career continues to guide the work we do today.
