NLDDesignsStudio

I am a Jewelry Designer and Metalsmith who studied at Texas Tech University (Wreck'em Tech!!). Shortly after school, I moved to California, met my husband who happened to be a Marine and we began our family and .... all the moves. I have two great kids that I place on top of my priority list. As they have gotten old enough to go to school, I have found a way to make some time for my favorite thing again, designing and making jewelry.

I love to create jewelry that brings joy to those who wear it. I had someone tell me that over the last 10+ years, a pair of earrings they had received from me had been a part of so many memories. They were the "go to" pair for nights out, dates, job interviews, and anything important. I was so excited to hear this! I want my pieces to be a staple in everyone's collection, something that they don't have to think or stress about and that boosts their confidence. I create my jewelry to be functional, easy, beautiful, confident, lightweight and strong. I want each piece to reflect the beauty of the person wearing it and add beauty without the fuss!

I am an active mom, so my jewelry needs to fit my lifestyle and be ready to go for anything from baseball games to a date night. I also have metal allergies, so I want my jewelry to work for me and so many others with base metal or gold allergies. I love art and quality pieces and jewelry is that for me too. A special, quality, hand-made piece, brings me so much more joy than all the costume jewelry out there. It has a story, a personality, and it can bring so much joy! I hope my pieces provide this for others!

We recently moved again, and I now call Fallbrook, California home. My 29 Palms CA home and studio was so spacious and wonderful but I am determined to make my new home and space work for me too. I hope you enjoy looking around my shop and make the choice to call one of my pieces, your own! Please contact me if you have any questions and have a joyful day!
