Hi, I'm Manny
I was born and raised in Germany but have lived the majority of my life in beautiful Richmond, Virginia. (RVA)
As for most of us, life has its twists and turns and after a major life event I had the opportunity to reinvent myself. The one constant in my life has been my need to create. Wanting to share my passion and expertise with others, I started designing jewelry and brought my visions to life.
Sitting at my work table with the morning sun illuminating my work gave me the inspiration of trying to capture the light through jewelry. Taking inspiration from gorgeous stained glass windows and art pieces I am forever striving to catch the sun.
My customers - YOU - have been an amazing source of imagination and inspiration and I truly value all the feedback and suggestions you have given me.
I’m super grateful to have all of you, my lovely customers, along the journey with me.
I love working with different types of materials like wire, pearls, and wood.
But when I discovered resin I quickly fell in love with it for its versatility. It enabled me to recreate the look of colorful glass, without the added weight or fragility. I can enclose sparkling accents or color changing pigments that add a bit of magical enchantment to each piece.
