A Peek Behind The Curtain
Welcome!
Hi, I’m Dianne, a (mostly) self-taught metalsmith, enamelist and wanna-be photographer at Divella Designs. I began making jewelry in 2007 and with David’s encouragement and support, left my day job to devote myself to the business.
In my late twenties and thirties I was encouraged by two fabulous artistic women, each with their own creative passion to find what I love. Since then I've been involved in a variety of creative expressions before finding my own true passion working with metals, enamels and gemstones.
My studio is my happy place; a place where I can dream, experiment, learn and grow in my passion creating lasting treasures you'll be thrilled to wear and give. Each piece of jewelry is carefully handcrafted to last a lifetime and is forged, enameled and finished by hand.
Nature is a recurring theme in the jewelry I produce, and is where a big piece of my heart is. When walking in the woods adjacent to our property, I forage for materials not just to inspire, but to actually use in making the jewelry.
