~ Deborah Rohda ~
All of my designs and creations are handcrafted
and are my passion and inspiration. I have been designing
and crafting jewelry for several years. I love to create bright and
one-of-a-kind jewelry pieces. The color spectrum of beads, gemstones and silver are the focus of my work. I am drawn to vibrant colors,
and seek to combine color and design in new ways.
I began exploring my interest in gem stones and silver
about ten years ago by taking gemology classes in Cheyenne
while working at a well-known jewelry store. I took all offered colored stone identification and diamond grading classes. My deepened knowledge of gem stones and metals led to an explosion of creative ideas and
an obsession with design. I expect my jewelry making will be
an ongoing journey—a wonderful progression of art.
It's very rewarding to have jewelry designs
that so many clients love and enjoy - as one lady
in Cheyenne, Wyoming, told me - "your jewelry excites me!"
My collection makes a distinct statement as each one is unique and represents a certain style. My ankle bracelets, chokers, earrings and bracelets in collector beads, gemstones, pearls, Swarovski
crystals and sterling silver gives each individual a way
to express their own personality.

My interests have ranged from oil and watercolor painting
to making pottery to stained glass and working with craft projects.
You name it, I probably attempted it. Then I discovered sterling and liquid silver, gemstones, collector beads, crystals, and the rest is history.
Even though I am an avid photographer, fossil and rock hunter,
and reader, I want to focus my energy on creating beautiful, jewelry
pieces that others can enjoy just as much as I did in their creation.
Most pieces are one of a kind, however, if you see
something that has sold, I can make other pieces like it. I welcome
custom orders and color combinations requests for future
sets you would like to see me create and offer.
I hope people find that the unique designs of my
work reflect and celebrate some part of their own uniqueness.
