Our Staff

Paul Richter has been designing & handcrafting jewelry since 1983.
Inspired by a true love of colored gemstones and driven by the creativity of combining gemstones and metal into their own art form, Paul founded Londonderry Goldsmith in 1990.

What was once a one man, one jeweler's bench operation is now Richter's Jewelry & Design Studio - a specialized jewelry boutique, complete with a fully staffed goldsmithing studio and showroom, located in Londonderry, NH.

Paul is the studio’s lead designer and master goldsmith. His creativity is the driving force behind the studio, as he not only designs and hand fabricates much of the jewelry in Richter's showcases, but also creates the custom designs for Richter's clients.

He is an award-winning designer whose artistic aesthetic lies within the imaginative and inventive interaction that exists between metal and gemstones, while still bringing out the beauty in both.

Paul handpicks Richter’s entire diamond and gemstone inventory, ensuring that each of these natural wonders is held to the highest standards, regardless of whether it is part of a work of art, an heirloom restoration, or a repair.

Emily’s enchantment with jewelry began at a young age when she would sit on her great grandmother’s lap, admiring her jewels and wanting to try them on. Her mother gifted her a simple jewelry making kit and her favorite childhood boardgame revolved around adorning herself with dress up jewelry. 

Starting with basic beading and progressing through wire wrapping, Emily eventually found herself using a jeweler’s torch and creating wearable works of art. While largely self-taught, Emily honed her skills by taking jewelry making classes at a local arts center. Her dedication led her to Paier College of Art, where she immersed herself in the study of various artistic mediums and earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree. 

 Emily enjoys the everlasting heritage that is deeply rooted in the world of art and is inspired by the different styles and techniques found throughout the centuries and eras of the jewelry culture. She loves hearing about family heirlooms that are passed from generation to generation and the stories that are shared. She believes that jewelry connects us and is the thread that links us from past to present. 

Her artistic sensibilities are influenced by rhythm and movement – both realistic and abstract - and she is inspired by fairytale themes and organic forms found in the Art Nouveau movement, as well as Japanese tapestries and textiles. She is drawn to a strong selection of colors that have become her personal palette – teal blues, mossy green, lilacs and terracotta rusts and pinks – and these colors have become consistent through all she creates – including her paintings and the gemstones and jewelry she is drawn to. 

 We are happy to welcome Emily to the team at Richter’s, as she embarks on the next chapter of her jewelry journey, eager to learn and grow alongside our team and under the creative and technical guidance of Paul. 

If you've paid a visit to our studio over the years, you know you’re likely to find a bullmastiff hanging out in Amy’s office.

Meet Rayna, the latest addition to our history of beloved canine companions at the studio. With her endless energy and infectious enthusiasm, there’s little doubt that life is a party for our “little” bullmastiff.

Fun fact: Rayna’s name means “queen.” While her persona may lean more towards the court jester than one who rules the realm, she’s certainly royalty to us and undoubtably the queen of our hearts. And her endearing doggie smile certainly makes us smile.

We know you’re here for the jewelry but, be sure to say hi to Rayna. She thinks you’re here just for her!
