About Deborah Grivas Designs

Known for beautiful color combinations and clean lines, Deborah Grivas Designs artfully explores the interplay of unexpected materials with gems and glittering crystals. Deborah's first namesake collection in 1995 sparked a trend with its statement necklaces featuring organza ribbon and wire woven around colorful stones. The designer has since developed a reputation for eye catching, contemporary adornments whose nod to classicism gives them great longevity. She is well known for unique hand-­knotted leather necklaces ornamented with clusters of stones and pearls in innovative medleys of color. Designed and made in Texas, Deborah's distinctive jewelry reflects her lifelong love of fashion and sharp instinct for style. She began working at age 16 as a fit model, launched a silk ­screened T-­shirt business shortly thereafter, and hasn't left the industry since. Deborah discovered her talent for jewelry in the 1980's while directing a highly successful collection by 30 Native American and southwestern artists and marketing it in the world's fashion capitals – New York, London, Paris and Tokyo. Carried by the Museum of Arts and Design in New York and fine specialty stores and museums nationwide. Deborah Grivas Designs has been featured in InStyle, O Magazine, "Today" show, Women's Wear Daily. Deborah was honored to be a 2005 finalist for the Dallas Fashion Award in jewelry design.Read their story
