KJOIA JEWELRY - ABOUT THE DESIGNER

Phonetically “k-joy-ah” is a Brazilian expression for “what beauty.”  Joia is also the Portuguese word for jewelry.  My name is Karen Dickey and I find joy in creating these one-of-a-kind pieces that are designed to mesmerize, intrigue and draw the eye.  Using handmade collaged paper beads, rare vintage glass beads and eccentric charms, I weave together jewelry spun with gorgeous color and depth. I take great pleasure in linking all these lovely little bits and pieces of color together into something beautiful, magical and even whimsical.  Each piece of jewelry is meticulously hand-crafted and many are one-of-a-kind designs.
