The Brass Dagger in St. Pete is a dreamy jewelry studio where you can learn the art of silversmithing as you design and make your own ring. This hidden gem is located at 1435 4th St S.

When Brianna Alfaro, a passionate realtor and creative visionary, set out to bring something new to St. Pete, she wasn’t just thinking about business—she was thinking about impact. The business is partly inspired by Brianna’s daughter, Jett Dagger. The name “echoes the fusion of strength and elegance,” according to Alfaro.
