Hello and welcome to Ava Designs. Here you will find handcrafted jewelry in a variety of styles that will give you the customer a choice. You may be a person who prefers a more tailored look or one who wants a simple and elegant piece of jewelry to wear everyday, or you may be looking for a beautiful romantic piece to give your special someone. No matter the style, or the reason, here you will find pieces that reflect your own personal individuality.

The techniques I use include wire wrapping, an ancient form of jewelry making, wire coiling, wire weaving, beadwork, and stringing. I use sterling silver or 14k gold-filled wire when framing or connecting beads, stones, pearls, crystals. I also use cabochons that were cut from hand picked slabs, then hand cut and polished by my husband.

I believe my style is tailored, simple, yet elegant, and can be somewhat romantic, can be worn running errands, in the office, or when attending special events.

I hope you enjoy your visit and that you will come back often to see what's new.
