New York native Jane Diaz has collaborated with Nepalese metalsmiths for over 30 years, creating a unique hand-made line of designer jewelry. A background in fine art, anthropology and dance combined with a life-long passion for ritual and ornamentation lead Jane to her success as a designer. Tying all these interests together, she envisions a collection of jewelry perfectly matched with the traditional hand-made techniques of Nepal. As the industrial world expands to consume many ancient crafts, Jane Diaz values the one of a kind distinction of the "human touch" to each individual piece. It is important to her to keep the skills of these craftsman alive. Jane designs her jewelry as a way to express her life experience and aesthetic. The romance of periods such as the Victorian, Art Deco and Mid Century Modern give form and shape to her collections.
