5 out of 5 starsBeautiful, well made, easy to wear earrings! The combination of green and pink tourmaline along with oxidized Shepard hooks is a great look. I have purchased quite a few earrings from Vicki and love them all!

5 out of 5 starsI love these very pretty & unique quartz earrings. I have some phantom quartz jewelry with the same beautiful formations in them, the first ones like them I’ve found in over 20 years of looking. I appreciate the nice box & pretty wrapping inside & gift card with a personal note ~ very nice personal touches. Thanks So Much!

Yummy gemstones
Beautiful . Hand Crafted . High Quality . Wearable
Orion Designs was created in 1997, when I was new to Alaska and anxious to earn my living in a creative way. I had taken a basic bead stringing class before moving here and loved the journey it helped me begin.
After many classes and lots of experimentation on my own, my style has evolved. And I expect it to continue to evolve. The jewelry I create brings joy to those who wear it. I use high quality materials, yet offer a product line that is as affordable as it is wearable.
So many of my customers have been on this journey with me and continue to purchase jewelry for themselves and as gifts for others. It is important for me to offer my customers new items frequently. I want them to feel good about how they look and feel. Jewelry from Orion Designs is a big step in that direction.
We relocated to northern California in 2017 and still live in a cozy little house nestled in the woods, with my jewelry studio contained within. My husband Rick is also a jewelry designer. Our Giant Schnauzer, Jet rounds out the family.
I feel so fortunate to be able to make a living doing such fun stuff every single day.
