Studio Companions and Second Chances

If you’ve followed Divella Designs for a while, you probably know how much nature inspires my work—but what you might not know is that two rescue dogs also play a pretty important role in my life.

Meet Bailey and Ollie—my constant companions, nap supervisors, and occasional barky critics.

Bailey is a winter-hating snuggler who prefers warm blankets and soft lighting over snowbanks and cold floors. She’s got the soul of an introvert and the heart of a guardian—always watching, always near.
Ollie, on the other hand, hates nothing and no one. He’s joy on four legs. If kindness had a tail, it would wag like his.

They came into my life through rescue—and brought with them patience, loyalty, and the gentle reminder that healing happens with time (and snacks).

It’s because of them—and animals like them—that I support our local Humane Society. Every tail wag and head nudge reminds me how important that work is. Part of the heart behind Divella Designs includes giving back, and my support of animal rescues is one way I try to do that.

So if you’ve ever wondered what it’s like behind the scenes here… imagine tools clinking, birds chirping outside the studio window, and two dogs curled up nearby—one burrowed in a blanket, and the other probably trying to charm a snack out of me.

Because They’re Family
Bailey and Ollie aren’t just pets—they’re part of my world. If you’ve ever felt that way too, I offer something close to my heart: custom silver fur charms, made using your pet’s fur.

Each one is created with care in my Vermont studio—hand-formed, textured, and designed to hold a physical piece of love and memory.

These are keepsakes for the long walks, the snuggles, the joy, and sometimes... the quiet ache of missing them.

If you’d like to know more, feel free to reach out. 

Handmade jewelry may be what I create, but this little studio is filled with so much more.

Thanks for being part of it.
