Welcome to Hedra Designs
 
I have always been fascinated by jewelry, particularly jewelry with a princess feel to it. I expressed this love early: I was beside myself when first time I encountered Swarovski crystal jewelry around my grandmother's neck at age three. As a teen with pierced ears I vowed to own a thousand pairs of earrings. Moving from being a purchaser of jewelry to a maker of jewelry came very naturally: creation allows me to give form to all the beautiful things that I can envision and want to wear.
 
Each of my pieces is individual, handmade, and imbued with my love of both the process and the product. I do fine wirework, but my great love for the last few years has been knotting on silk using the finest traditional techniques. I adore and primarily work with pearls and vintage Swarovski crystals. My style is strongly influenced by Zuni and Renaissance patterns and styles. I like to create layers and rows of drops and chandelier earrings, suitable for any Princess to wear anywhere, whether with jeans or a gown.
