MyDaniMonster Handmade Jewelry was founded because I saw all my creative friends making something beautiful and I wanted to be a part of that world. It all started with the desire to learn to craft, and has since become a source of joy. The MyDaniMonster workshop consists of a dining room table, jeweler’s tools, and a spouse with unending patience.
I love to sculpt pieces that are both unique, and created with a client’s taste in mind. My mediums include: precious metal, gun metal, swarovski elements, glasswork, acrylic, and resin. My signature pieces usually display one or more of my favorite symbols - keys, hearts, and stars. All pieces are handmade with love; many are one of a kind.
I started making simple drop earrings from basic components; after that, I began to design necklaces, then bracelets and now I'm working on wire wrapped and cluster rings. I love the thrill of figuring out how to execute a new design. When I’m not at my day job, you can find me working on my designs at home, vending at craft fairs and curating a pop-up boutique at the DTLA Art Walk.
