Designer Bio
Barry Verragio's journey in the world of fine jewelry began over 30 years ago, working for some of the most renowned names in the industry. His passion for craftsmanship and dedication to quality were honed during his early days as an apprentice. Seeking to deepen his understanding and skills, Barry pursued studies at the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City, where he mastered the art of ring design.
It was during this time that Barry developed his exclusive setting technique, a breakthrough that set the foundation for his future endeavors. This innovation was a testament to his belief, inspired by Albert Einstein, that one should never settle for the ordinary. 'The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results,' Barry often says, emphasizing his commitment to pushing the boundaries of traditional engagement ring design.
As Verragio has grown, so has Barry's vision. Today, Verragio is synonymous with cutting-edge designs that maintain a classic foundation, catering to the discerning tastes of modern brides-to-be. Barry's driving force remains his passion for creating engagement rings and wedding bands that are truly unlike any other, embodying the essence of uniqueness and excellence.
