About me

Industry Arts
Location San Francisco, CA, United States
Introduction The son of the former director of the Getty Museum in Los Angeles, Peter Walsh inherited an eye for the exceptional and applied it to jewelry. In the 1990's he opened and managed a highly successful jewelry gallery with local San Francisco designer, Harry Mason. After several years working in the non-profit sector, Peter and his wife Monica opened Manika Jewelry in 2006 and only two years later received the JCK Magazine First Place award for Best Independent Retailer. Peter has made supporting local artists like Sarah Graham and Rebecca Overmann a foundational part of his business model because he believes in the value of supporting the local economy. Being socially responsible in business and with a Master's Degree in Psychology, Peter has developed his own style of selling based on genuine service and natural enthusiasm. He is also a sales trainer and retail consultant to other businesses. By, Andrea Stiassni
