Kelly Diemond, Owner Metal Morphosis Studio

In 2012, Kelly realized that she was creative and discovered a passion for making jewelry. She began taking classes and learning as much as she could and dreamed of one day opening her own studio.

In 2018, Kelly quit her job of 19+ years and brought that dream into being-opening Metal Morphosis, Syracuse’s only private metalsmithing school-a move that was both terrifying and exciting!

Today she gets to help students gain confidence and skills using 2000+ degree torches to create beautiful jewelry they are proud to say they made.

Kelly has the freedom she always imagined while growing a sustainable business and building a thriving creative community in Syracuse.

She continues to teach both in the studio, online and across NY at retreats and art centers.

in 2025, Kelly attended the New Approach School of Jewelry where she received Bench Comprehensive and Stone Setting Certificates.

Josh is an Industrial Design graduate of Syracuse University and has a passion for 3D printers and casting. He now has a bench set up in the studio and can usually be found rigging up something unusual to incorporate in his work.

You can find him on Instagram @jzpdesign and find a sampling of his jewelry in our Gallery.
