Dara DiMagno

Dara DiMagno has always loved vintage images and antique treasures, and her desire to use them and give them new prominence — even if she didn’t know from whence they came — is what led her to create her signature pendant necklaces, wall jewelry, and bracelets. A school teacher-librarian by profession, Dara has indulged in the pleasure of jewelry making on a part-time basis for the past nine years; you can catch her at numerous shows and workshops coast to coast. She turns her 104-mile daily commute to her teaching job into valuable creative time, thinking up new jewelry ideas, designs, and concepts. When she “grows up” and retires, she looks forward to lots of time in her studio creating jewelry and other exciting projects. For more on Dara, visit daradimagno.com.
