Owner/Designer at Ryelyn by Design
Nestled on the shores of Lake Champlain in the Adirondacks, Ryelyn by Design is owned and operated by Ryelyn McKay. A self-taught silversmith and lapidary artist. With roots in fine metalsmithing, a flair for leather and fiber arts, and a lifelong love of jewelry, Ryelyn shapes and polishes her own stones for truly one-of-a-kind creations. After some years teaching math and raising her family, she transformed a childhood passion into a thriving business that grows alongside her kids in a historic Plattsburgh home.
Each handcrafted piece reflects her evolving bohemian aesthetic and a thirst for learning new techniques. From ready-to-wear favorites to bespoke custom designs, Ryelyn crafts jewelry that’s as personal as it is polished—and always a little playful.
