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.

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!
