Modern Design, Vintage Style
Welcome to RedAvaDesigns on Etsy! I design an eclectic range of jewelry using vintage beads and components, semi-precious stones, hand-forged enamel, copper, sterling silver, brass, and bronze, all handmade in Chicago. Whether it’s that perfect statement piece, or something fun and edgy, I want to create unique and affordable art that you can wear, and that you won’t find anywhere else.
My influences range from Art Deco and Mid-Century Modern design to Surrealism and Asian art. I also appreciate the beauty of natural and organic forms and patterns, and try to incorporate these images and shapes into my work.
RedAvaDesigns consists of three original and distinctive jewelry lines:
1. Vintage Reimagined: Unique vintage components from all over the world repurposed them into modern jewelry with a retro flair.
2. Modern Enamel: Modern techniques revitalize an ancient and beautiful art form.
3. Organic Metals: Hand-formed, stamped, and hammered sterling silver and copper jewelry utilizing stunning, semi-precious stones, as well as jewelry created from natural materials and vintage components, in bronze and sterling silver, using lost-wax casting.
Sign up for my VIP mailing list to see the latest pieces I am working on and be eligible for exclusive deals available only to mailing list subscribers, as well as jewelry tips and inspiration! You'll also see my art show schedule: www.redavadesigns.com.
Look around - I hope you find something you will love to wear!
