Although heartbreaking - especially for a California born jeweller - thank you Mike Holmes and the wonderful crew at Velvet da Vinci for being so stellar. Cheers to the continuing online version of VdaV and we look forward to the new opportunities this might bring you!

Velvet da Vinci in San Francisco is closing. After 26 years it has been a good long run! It has been a privilege to work with so many inspiring artists, first in Hayes Valley and for the last 13 years in the wonderful space on Polk Street. Heartfelt thanks to the many loyal customers, colleagues and friends who have supported the gallery for so long. To the hard working VdV team, Diane Komater, Nikki Couppee, Amy Tavern (and Sienna Freeman!) I will miss you more than I can say. The gallery will be winding down during May and June and will close by July 1. If there is a special piece that you have been thinking about... now is the time to get it!

Although the gallery will be closing Velvet da Vinci can still be found online. You can visit the gallery archive on the website and I plan to develop the online business at velvetdavinci.com. in the future. Follow the gallery on Instagram and Facebook. There are a few projects still in the works that I would love to see through so there is a good chance that Velvet da Vinci will Pop-Up from time to time... I'm not sure what the next chapter will bring but I look forward to see what happens. Thanks for being part of the adventure.

A Velvet da Vinci Closing Party will take place on Saturday June 3, 2017. 5-9 pm Hope to see you there!

xx Mike Holmes

Around three years ago, my partner Attai Chen and I decided to leave Munich to live in a small village in the countryside of Bavaria. Attai kept his studio in Munich and since then, has been subjected to a time-intense commute between home and his… Read more
