About Us

About Our Art

My jewelry is created from the combination of my love of the natural energy that comes from rocks and the peaceful focus needed to manipulate & form metal.  Inspiration is all around me generally coming from something in nature such as a flower, branch, bug or rock. I strive to build an elegant showcase with metal to create pleasing pieces of wearable art.  Settings are hand fabricated by cutting, piercing, texturing, folding and soldering various components together.

My journey into metalsmithing began later in my life after a long career working with retirement plans & programs.  In 2014 I started with just one class at Craft Alliance and have been drawn to metalsmithing from the moment I experienced the thrill of soldering two pieces of metal together.  Since then I have studied with the fine instructors at Craft Alliance and participated in various workshops lead by Paulette Meyers, Jayne Redman and John Heusler.  I am proud to be a juried artist in both The Greater St. Louis Artists and Best of Missouri Hands organizations.

Annie Dell Designs is a combination of my Mom’s and Aunt’s names.  It is my way of honoring them and bringing their love of wearing jewelry for adornment and ~bling~.
