Collection: Dede Corvinus

I started making jewelry just for the fun of it and have learned by trial and error. My past in geology influences my choices of beads: agates, amethyst, jasper, lapis, etc. My designs try to bring out the colors and unique patterns of the rocks and often include chains and wire wrapping. In addition to necklaces, earrings and bracelets, I make decorative eyeglass chains.

It's a great thrill that others enjoy wearing these creations. There are so many beautiful, interesting stones out there, but many are not appropriate for jewelry, so I added hanging crystal and stone mobiles and wind chimes to my collection of work. Getting the shape and balance of the mobiles is especially fun.

I have recently gotten back to knitting - specifically caps and hats for cold weather wear. Decorative buttons are strategically placed on them to hold mask elastics.

I have been a member of WomanCraft Gifts since 2014. I work in the store on Friday afternoon and evening and would love to talk to you about my work. I am happy to take custom orders, designing something specifically for you. I also restring or redesign necklaces or bracelets.  I like the challenge!
