Hello, Fabulous. Welcome to the deCongé store at Etsy!

*****And darling, please refer to the store policy before purchasing, and feel free to contact me with any questions. All pieces are made to order for custom sizing. Fabrication of one-off custom pieces can be arranged in Etsy Alchemy. Happy shopping, Fabulous!*****

Danielle deCongé’s handmade one-off and production pieces are in position for a commercial venture to reach a mass market that is overdue for change. This up-and-coming jeweler exercises her passion for jewelry design in New York City, but has been highly favored by distinguished jewelry collectors, vendors, bloggers, and gallery owners nationwide.

In her Rescued Refuse collection, she brings life to overlooked familiar forms rather than creating new ones. She transforms objects such as orange peels, potato chips, toothpicks, and coffee sleeves by employing traditional metalsmthing techniques. The brilliant colors reflect her training as a painter, and the designs lend themselves to an art jewelry aesthetic. She believes that regardless of the material - from gold to aluminum and pearls to concrete - the aesthetic quality of jewelry reigns supreme over our perceived value of metals and stones.

Danielle deCongé states, “Realization of one’s true self and the declaration of individuality is a step toward power.” She promotes the pursuit of passion rather than trailing the media bandwagon to follow the accepted rules of fashion.
