Every designer, whether in the jewellery, fashion, or interiors world, wants to be known for something special. Carving out a niche, as they say, can mean the difference between doing what you love for a living and just dabbling in it in your spare time. Considering, of course, how many creative designers there are in the world and how many are actually able to say they have a business doing what they do, being different and standing out in the crowd is a concept that is easy to understand but can be very difficult to actually do.
DM Jewelry Designs
Debora Malouf, founder, and designer behind US-based DM Jewelry Designs understands this all too well. An accounting major with an artistic eye, she opted for the safer career path, after witnessing a few of her friends who were “double degree art majors and crazy talented struggle to find jobs.” Despite her day job, Debora continued to design jewellery, creating pieces, like so many artists do, whenever she had a chance.
Statement Necklaces
And, if it weren’t for one specific customer, whose experience designing a custom piece of jewellery for his wife alerted Debora to her untapped talent, she might never have pursued what is now her successful brand, DM Jewelry Designs. This creative process, which resulted in a stunning necklace for the man’s very particular wife, demonstrated to Debora exactly what her “speciality” is: exquisite, customised, and attention to detail.
JewelStreet Exclusives
DM Jewelry Designs can also be found on JewelStreet, a unique retailer which features handpicked designers from around the globe, known for their ability to perfectly “capture the essence of a woman.” No mean feat, but, Debora’s steadfast commitment to using only the finest, ethically sourced materials, shows she is up to the task. Her statement necklaces, in particular, are evidence of DM Jewelry Designs’ continual celebration of femininity, and embodiments of “beauty, strength, intelligence, and passion.”
The Tess Necklace, then, is the perfect place to start to understand why the brand cannot just be simply labelled as creating “statement jewellery.” This striking necklace utilises reconstructed pyrite, mystic coated titanium quartz, tiger’s eye accents, and is finished with a bronze toggle clasp. Its stunning colours and strong shape make it as confident as it is fashionable.
What the Tess Necklace has in colour, the Monique Necklace has in class. Designed with faceted puffed diamond cut black spinel and black onyx accents, even the clasp, which is an exquisite piece on its own, is stunning. Creating an instant statement that is both feminine and strong, the Monique Necklace can be worn with any outfit, instantly becoming a strong supporting lead.
For a bridge between Tess and Monique, you’ll find Adelaide. A statement necklace crafted with rare and unique natural garnet slabs, imported Gold Druzy with gold-filled accents, and finished with another signature toggle clasp, the Adelaide Necklace manages to be strong, feminine, classic, and bold all at once.
And then there’s the Penny Necklace, which is clearly, thanks to the exquisite material and impeccable craftsmanship, a DM Jewelry Design, but in a class all on its own. A bit wild, with a nod to the unique stripes found on a Zebra, the Penny Necklace is crafted from black onyx and zebra jasper with snow jade accents. Want to channel your inner animal? Then it’s time to take a walk on the wild side with Penny.
So much more than a statement, DM Jewelry Designs is a reflection of the feminine mystique and an example of what precision, commitment, and a bit of polishing can do for anything, be it a natural rock or a beautiful woman.
