Hi! My name is Devan, I'm the girl behind the curtain. I'm an independent custom bench jeweler / jewelry designer based in Columbus, Ohio.  I like music festivals, my pup, travelling, true crime, and crochet.

I started wire-wrapping sterling silver and rough gems in 2015, by 2018 I started fabricating jewelry thanks to some insanely talented and wonderful people I’ve had the privilege to meet, have in my life, and show me the ropes. It happened fast and I fell in love with the art form. And even though it’s been several years of learning and working, I still feel like I haven’t scratched the surface of all the possibilities.

Along with jewelry, gems and minerals have always seriously fascinated me. It's one thing to see the beauty of a gemstone, but in my mind I'm like "BRO THERES UNDERGROUND CAVERNS WITH CRYSTALS BIGGER THAN CARS RIGHT UNDER OUR FEET" how is that not insane!?!? Anyways I've put myself through most of the GIA colored stones courses, along with receiving my Graduate Diamonds diploma. I've taken advanced stone setting classes to push my jewelry game further, if there's something to learn, I want to learn it. 

Then one day I made a crochet hook. Some backstory: My mom taught me crochet when I was young. I remember making some simple scarves and rags, but life went on and I had all but forgot about it. I didn't pick it back up until around 2020 when covid had us in a chokehold, and I was already deep in making jewelry so that made what came next a no-brainer.

I made my first jeweled crochet hook in 2021. I took a piece of sterling silver rod that had been lying around, hammered and shaped it into a hook which just so happened to be a Size G, set 5 amethysts down the handle, and within 24 hours I was sending it off to Iceland. Since then, my jeweled crochet hooks have landed all over the world, from Mexico to Germany to Australia and beyond.   The crochet community is so broad and supportive and has helped me get my work out into the world in a way I never thought possible.

It’s so cool to think in a thousand years, if humans haven’t destroyed the planet yet, all these fancy crochet hooks might be found as ancient relics and get to tell a whole story of this ancient civilization that valued a craft so much that they turned the primary tool in a jewel.

Ultimately my goal is to leave a memorable piece of my heart behind when my time is up on this planet, and I'm so grateful for this community for making that dream possible.
