DK FINDS by Deanna Kay Wander
Deanna Kay, the designer for DK Finds, is an accomplished professional in the jewelry industry. Through her extensive experience of more than 30 years in the retail jewelry business, she has become adept at anticipating the subtle tastes of the fine jewelry buyer.
Her years at the heart of the artists' colonies in Carmel, California imbued Deanna Kay’s life with a sense of enlightenment.
Lahaina, Maui, Hawaii would be her next stop along life’s journey. The style she developed reflected an impression of the 70’s and 80’s with ethnic influences and free-form gold designs.
Always one with creative insight and a keen fashion sense, Deanna Kay never really rests. Whether awakening in the twilight hours with a new design idea or strolling through the grocery aisles and noting an inspirational texture, her thoughts seem ever to turn to jewelry.
Deanna Kay expresses the essence of today’s woman who can do it all as well as buy it all - the self-purchaser who seeks heightened value for her hard-earned dollar.
The fashion-forward attitude of the finely hand-crafted 18kt gold and diamond jewelry appeals to every personality.
Robert Wander for WINC CREATIONS
Robert Wander is a third generation jeweler who engages our imagination with his ingenious designs.
Robert Wander formally studied the jewelry arts in Paris. He later embarked upon the informal education of “wandering” around the globe while exploring options. Then his father presented him with the opportunity to oversee the fine jewelry departments of Sakowitz stores in Texas. However, his free-spirited nature longed for adventure, so he set his sails anew as a marlin fishing charter boat captain. Proceeding from that expedition, Robert Wander re-entered the jewelry design world with a fresh perspective on the business that has always been an integral part of his life.
Robert Wander has been celebrated for his matte-finished Etruscan designs, forerunner to the trend that permeates today’s marketplace. Following the Greek and Roman influences, he developed a series of insect and bug designs comprised of hand-carved colored stones and accented with diamonds. Recently he vitalized the previous collection with a dynamic charm when he introduced an entirely different "species".
In the new millenium, Robert Wander for Winc Creations, unveils vibrant stones embellished with delicate etched gridwork and highlighted by pave diamonds. Pave pastel sapphires offset by oxidized gold emphasizes an intriguing contrast of old and new.
If Robert Wander is not forging yet another line of dazzling jewelry to stir your soul, you can either find him pursuing a 2000 pound marlin or tending his orchid garden. Yes, Robert also cultivates tantalizing designs with Mother Nature.
