Angelo Marraccini opened Angelo's Bar in 1945 in Monongahela, Pennsylvania. His son Lee Angelo opened Angelo, a jewelry store, in Charlottesville, Virginia, in 1998. Lee chose the name to honor his father.

Angelo is a show house for Lee's strong, geometric designs-like his signature series of stacking rings-as well as new pieces and jewelry from other top artists.

Lee's jewelry is meticulously crafted at his studio several blocks from the store by the staff of Marraccini Designs. They incorporate platinum, yellow and white gold, colored stones, and diamonds in warm, playful designs. Lee prides himself in working with customers to create unique pieces that reflect his clients' individual tastes. He is available for consultation at Angelo every Tuesday between 2pm and 6pm.
