Holding an MFA in Jewelry/Metals from San Diego State University, Anneville Studio in Point Loma's Liberty Station has specialized in mokume gane — the ancient Japanese layered-metal technique — since 1991. The Barracks 15 workspace doubles as a teaching studio with multi-level metalworking classes covering fabrication, soldering, and surface techniques, adding to the fine-craft programming anchored by Visions Museum of Textile Art in the Arts District. Women-owned and sourcing 100% recycled gold, silver, copper, and brass with ethically sourced stones, the studio eliminates newly mined precious metals from its entire supply chain. Ring billets fuse up to seven alternating metal layers through solid-state diffusion bonding before hand-carving reveals woodgrain, raindrop, or ladder patterns — a heritage metalsmithing approach that complements the GIA-graded diamond and CAD-design pipeline at Point Loma Fine Jewelers. The studio's most demanding commissions are matched multi-piece bridal suites — mokume gane wedding bands, pendant, and earrings cut from a single billet so the layered pattern flows continuously across every piece.
