Deanna designs and creates her naturally New Zealand inspired jewellery from her home studio in the beautiful beachside suburb of Southshore, Christchurch.Delicate flower and leaf forms pierced from softly textured silver are set against vibrantly coloured, indigo blue titanium. Made from her heart and with her hand, Deanna's 'Regeneration' pieces are inspired by the freshness of new beginnings and how magical things found in nature can keep life in perspective.

"A mighty tree casts cool shadows against the clear blue sky.
Vibrant colours create joy in the silent garden.
A bird bursts into song.
My spirit soars"¦"
Deanna Gracie
