The House of DeAngelis is proud to present the second generation. William and Merina DeAngelis first arrived on the jewelry scene in 1979. Now they are introducing their daughter, Patricia Daughn.

Patricia has grown up in and around the jewelry industry. Beginning in 1992,she began apprenticing under her father's direction and quickly learned how to design fine jewelry incorporating diamonds and precious stones with hand made mountings. She continued on 47th Street until 1995 when she then tried her hand in the retail market as a department coordinator in a well-known department store. However, her real dream was to be able to design unique pieces and show other people how beautiful diamonds and hand made jewelry could be.

In 1996 she embarked upon a new career within the New York Unified Court System. She continued to design and help her family after hours and for the holidays yet she continued to feel the lure of diamonds and fine jewelry. Finally, she could no longer ignore her heart.

In 2003, Patricia entered the Gemological Institute of America to study diamonds in their Graduate Diamonds course. In October 2003 she received her GIA Diamonds Graduate degree. Using her new credentials, she has joined her family on 47th Street as a loose diamond wholesaler and continues to design fine diamond jewelry.
