About Fati Genese

Fati Genese is a lapidary and inlay artist blending fine art with contemporary jewelry design. Her line, Sea Pony Couture, reflects a playful yet refined aesthetic shaped by her background in sculpture, painting, and metalsmithing.

Beginning her metalsmithing journey in high school, Fati has since studied with masters across diverse jewelry and fine art disciplines, developing a distinctive, experimental approach to inlay. Her intricate stonework and imaginative compositions draw inspiration from her travels through thirteen cities and five states, where each collection was influenced by place and experience.

Her work has been featured in Gem Gossip’s Designer Spotlight, Metalsmith Magazine, and exhibited at the Mingei International Museum. With over two decades of experience, Fati has taught at the Richmond Art Center and The Crucible, lectured at Silver Jewelry School, and led an inlay intensive at Brooklyn Metal Works.
