Riley & June is a continuously evolving line of jewelry designed and handmade by Monica Riley.

I’m a maker at heart and love things that sparkle. Ultimately, that’s led me to jewelry design. I work from visual inspiration—from images, art, people and nature. I live in the San Francisco Bay Area where I’m surrounded by beauty—passionate people, the Pacific Ocean, the constant blue sky, the limestone foothills, city skyscrapers and sailboats on the bay, fig trees and blooming oleander, my sons, husband, dog and cats. I try to reflect it all right back through every design I create.
