I never expected to be a jewelry artist. As a kid growing up in Pittsburgh PA, I loved to act and dance. After college, I worked for years in administrative jobs and marketing in Washington DC. Then one day I saw art jewelry in a gallery and I was fascinated. I try to buy what I could afford, but the creative part of me wanted to know more. I studied beading and metal arts and decided this was I wanted to do full time.

I started my company in 2007 and chose the name Divergence Design because my designs are "divergent" from mainstream jewelry. My pieces vary from classic contemporary, to mid-century Jane Jetson, to Pittsburgh inspired Industrial Chic.”

Thank you for visiting my site on Etsy. I hope my pieces inspire you and that you share them with your friends. Purchases are good too! -- Kim
