Wayne DeSantis began his jewelry endeavor by developing a manufacturing company by the name of Milaine Jewelers in 1978.  By the early 90s, Wayne's company manufactured tens of thousands of high quality gold and sterling silver gemstone jewelry for hundreds of retail companies throughout the United States. 

Milaine Jewelers recently made a transition into changing the company name to DeSantis Jewelry Artisans.  This transition led to liquidating a vast variety of jewelry supplies as well as different types of jewelry.

DeSantis Jewelry does not outsource any part of their jewelry fabrication process. All jewelry is created using both new and old-world crafting techniques. DeSantis uses the lost wax casting process; altering hand carved wax sculptures into wearable works of art.
