About Ralladesign
For as long as I can remember art has been my passion: I drew, painted, made collages, knitted and crocheted. In the last few years I have concentrated on designing and making jewelry - and I absolutely LOVE doing it! I love to design new pieces, I love to work with my hands, and best of all: I love seeing people wear my jewelry and seeing the joy that it gives them.
I use semi-precious gemstones in my designs that remind me of the sea, sky and meadows. Just as nature is always changing, the same stones always shift their moods. I use many different techniques, but my favorite is crocheting with wire. Each of these pieces is created by crocheting silver or gold filled wire with semi-precious stones and pearls. It is a very time consuming and labor intensive process. The crocheted piece then becomes the centerpiece of a tasseled necklace or a knotted necklace, making an absolutely unique creation. I design my jewelry for those who appreciate creativity, artisanship and attention to details.
Please enjoy!
