Ceramic Jewelry
Donni's ceramic jewelry continues a sacred tradition that has adorned humanity since our earliest civilizations, connecting our spirits to artisans who worked with clay thousands of years ago. Each piece emerges from the timeless dialogue between artist and earth, transforming clay into wearable art that honors both ancient techniques and modern sensibilities.
Inspired by nature's perfect imperfections, Donni draws inspiration from organic forms, textures and colors. Unlike mass-produced accessories, her jewelry celebrates the subtle variations and character-rich details that have made ceramic adornments precious throughout human history. Glazed in earthy tones that reflect the woodland palette, these lightweight yet durable creations offer more than decoration—they provide a tactile connection to both our natural world and our collective heritage, a tangible link to ancient wisdom transformed through fire and reimagined for contemporary expression.

Complementing her ceramic elements, Donni selects metals with the same thoughtful consideration she applies to her clay work. Each finding, wire, and accent is chosen not only for its aesthetic harmony with her earthy ceramic components but also for its gentle relationship with the skin. Donni exclusively works with hypoallergenic metals - primarily 14k gold-fill, gold plated and surgical stainless steel - all free from nickel, lead, and other common metal allergens that can cause sensitivity. This commitment to body-safe materials ensures her jewelry can be worn with comfort by even the most sensitive individuals.
The subtle luster of these carefully selected metals creates a beautiful counterpoint to the organic textures and matte finishes of her ceramic pieces, echoing the way sunlight plays against forest shadows. Just as she honors the earth through her ceramic practice, Donni's metal choices reflect her dedication to both environmental and personal wellbeing, creating jewelry that nourishes the spirit without compromising physical comfort or the environment.
