Olivia Sugarman is the custom jeweler, metalsmith, and founder behind Onyx Armory, based in Oceanside, CA.

Sugarman grew up in her mom’s Northern California jewelry design studio and store, evolving her childhood roots into a career-shaping apprenticeship in 2016. She attended the Gemology Institute of America in 2017 and went on to establish Onyx Armory. For the past seven years, she has built, evolved, and grown the brand into a thriving business that’s championed by the local San Diego community and beyond. Her designs and benchwork combine intricate detail, fine stone settings, mixed metals, and engraving.

This spring, Sugarman will be opening a curated showroom and working studio space in Oceanside, CA. She plans to house other creatives’ work alongside her own with the hope of sharing the process and craftsmanship behind various artistic trades.
