welcome to realia

I’ve always had a penchant for fashion and photography! Traveling the world has taught me to appreciate a variety of art forms, and over time I’ve added numerous crafting skills to my repertoire!

Beads from the Czech Republic can be found in almost all of my jewelry. They represent the heritage of the town where I grew up (New Prague, MN) and my own personal bloodlines.

I change things up quite often! Like my many moods, my creations vary greatly from classic simplicity to an eclectic mix of fine metals and found objects. I am drawn to color and texture and often create pieces in my head before they come to life in my hands. In my studio I am both an imaginative inventor and a pragmatic realist working to create pieces that make the intended wearer fall in love at first sight!

I strive to make all of my unique creations wearable by real people. If you don’t see something you like, but can tell me about what you want, we can work together to dress you up in:
