I’m Diana, the metalsmith and crafts woman. I fell in love with jewelry making growing up. My mom and I used to go to every bead store during the summer and get creative! Eventually I wanted to expand my skills and took a jewelry class at California College of the Arts while I was supposed to be working towards a degree in graphic design. I jumped ship from my graphic design program to pursue a career in working wth my hands. I have been practicing this craft for 16 years now and I still feel like there is so much more to learn and practice.

Every piece is made by myself using sterling silver and 14k gold fill sheet, wire, tubing and semi precious or precious stones. I also work in solid 14k or 18k, just ask! Some pieces come with a plan, others are made as I unravel my ideas in the studio. I think of my work as a continuing creative journey for me and you, as the buyer, get a little piece of that journey.

Lately I’ve been inspired and reconnecting with my Mexican heritage. I am adopted, and i’ve always sought out my heritage in one way or the other. My work is a mix of my roots, my semi goth or emo ways, with a touch of minimalism.
