About Deseree

Deseree's design philosophy aligns with Wabi Sabi, embracing the beauty of imperfection, transience, and simplicity. Each piece is crafted to be lightweight and comfortable, akin to a lingering fragrance that subtly graces a room. Committed to quality and timelessness, she uses ethically sourced, high-quality gemstones and recycled precious metals, including Argentium silver and various forms of solid gold, ensuring each piece is an investment meant to last. Each item is meticulously handmade, incorporating metaphysical and chakra properties to promote calm, soothing, and healing energies.

 

Artist Statement

"My jewelry is an extension of my painter’s eye. I see the world in a spectrum of living color—from the subtle shifts in someone’s eyes to the way leaves change hue in the sun—and I translate those moments into pieces you can wear every day. Like wildflowers blooming together in a field, I want each design to feel harmonious with the wearer, never overpowering.

Guided by Wabi Sabi, I embrace imperfection, transience, and simplicity. No two pieces are exactly alike; each carries its own small variations, like the lines in a stone or the texture of bark. I work with natural gemstones and recycled precious metals, choosing materials for both their beauty and their integrity.

I handcraft every piece with care so it feels light, comfortable, and quietly present—more like a lingering fragrance than a shout. My hope is that the jewelry becomes a companion over time: a small, timeless investment in yourself that also carries gentle metaphysical and chakra properties to support calm, healing, and balance."
