Craig Drake
University of Pennsylvania. His professional career started with a job selling soaps for Proctor & Gamble and progressed to his making and selling jewelry both for other retailers, like Tiffany’s, and for his own eponymous business on Walnut Street. He crafted custom designs for the wealthiest, most connected Philadelphia residents, who came to him to be dressed for major events, or have thematic jewelry made to match their interests. An appointment with Drake was highly coveted; one had to get a referral from an existing client just to meet with him. He thrived in the 1980s and ’90s, when Philly’s Old Money crowd — well known for its Quaker distaste of conspicuous consumption — made way for New Money exuberance. Jewels, gold — all that glittered was in high demand.
