Diane My name is Diane Austin and I would love to tell you about something I am passionate about...designing jewelry. But first, a little bit about myself. Up until a recent back surgery, I had run my own business staging homes for three years and loved every minute of it! But due to the spinal fusion I was forced to sell my business in June of 2009. I found however, that the creative Spirit within me never seems to want to stop creating. Now I have put my heart into my second passion -- creating wearable works of art! I also work with mixed media art and design and make unique wall hangings at affordable prices. I enjoy the challenge of designing something that will put the "WOW" or the "romance" in any piece of clothing. This is a therapeutic hobby for me and I have fun seeing the delight on a person's face when I've taught them how to design and make their own fashion jewelry. I look forward to meeting you and sharing the fun!

Welcome to Designs By Diane

My jewelry designs are created in a variety of different mediums: hand-made clay, crystals, ceramics, pearls, natural stone & minerals, gems, and wire. Sterling silver jewelry is designed upon request.

I never know what I may create next, out of anything or for anything, such as: unique key chains, badge & glasses holders, broaches, pins, hair jewelry, rings and more!

I enjoy doing custom articles for any outfit or occasion. I also have fun sharing the adventure of meeting my clients face to face and discovering together the joy of creating their own unique style.

I do this in several ways: I offer classes in my home where I teach you how to design and make your own custom creations. I also do custom orders by appointment where you can bring your own clothing pieces to find just the right jewelry set or we can design one to your specifications. I also host home parties where you can gather your family and friends at my home for an evening of fun & sharing to find your own creative spirit! I also show my own collections during the year for you to browse and purchase for personal wearing, holidays and gift giving. Interested in free jewelry? Host a show and I can tell you how! Check out the tabs above for current classes and shows or for more information. Cash and checks accepted.

I look forward to meeting you and sharing the fun!
