About Jewel Diva

At Jewel Diva, I believe jewelry is more than an accessory—it’s an expression of individuality and personal style. Most of the pieces you see here are designs I’ve personally created, shaped by years of experience, intention, and love for the craft. Alongside my own work, I also offer a small selection of carefully chosen antique pieces—treasures I didn’t create, but deeply admire for their history, beauty, and artistry.
 

My journey with jewelry began over 20 years ago and has been shaped by years of dedicated study in beadwork design under some of the most talented artists in the field. I’ve traveled across the country to attend workshops, shows, and immersive trainings, learning directly from master artisans whose creativity and craftsmanship continue to inspire my work today. Each experience added another layer to how I see design, materials, and the quiet discipline behind truly beautiful pieces.
 

Every design is created with patience, intention, and joy. Many evenings are spent weaving a piece, stepping back, and realizing it needs to be taken apart and reimagined. That willingness to start again—until everything feels just right—is at the heart of my creative process. Nothing is rushed; each piece evolves naturally into what it’s meant to be.

My home studio is filled with jars and drawers overflowing with beads, crystals, pearls, metals, and rare antique treasures I’ve collected over the years. Each material carries its own story and energy, waiting to be transformed into something meaningful.
 

Creating jewelry is both an exploration and a conversation with the materials themselves. I’m drawn to designs that challenge me—pieces that require patience, problem-solving, and trust in the process. I choose beads instinctively: crystals that catch the light, pearls with quiet elegance, and antique elements rich with history. Every selection is intentional, guided by color, texture, and how a piece wants to come together.
 

I’ve created hundreds of pieces over the years—many more than what’s currently listed here. If you’re looking for something specific or would love to see additional designs, just ask. Whether you’re celebrating a wedding, elevating an outfit you love, or simply treating yourself to a little sparkle, my hope is that each Jewel Diva piece helps you express your inner diva—bold, stylish, and uniquely you.
