About New Bead Designs

All pieces are made in the U.S.A.

Diane Felber (formerly of dbeaddesigns) is a Connecticut native, raised in New Haven and now resides in Norwalk, Connecticut of Fairfield County.

"I have been designing jewelry for almost 17 years.  My background is in studio art, which led me deeply into the world of pottery, where I studied with local and international potters.  After many years of having my hands in the mud, I switched to making jewelry.  I live in Norwalk, Ct. with my two active kids, my wonderful husband and zany terrier-mix dog!

"I love variety in all areas of my life, and this reflects in my jewelry designs.  I use sterling silver, silver plate, gold plate, brass, leather and a variety of stones, shell, bone, etc.  My work has been described as elegant and simple, from everyday use to special occasions.  I make one-of-a-kind jewelry and especially love making long and layered pieces. 

"My hope is that there is something here for everyone!  Once a piece of jewelry is bought, it is removed from the inventory.  My pieces are not mass-produced.  Please feel free to contact me with any questions or requests.  If you would like a variation of something you see or something that is sold, please let me know."

Enjoy!
