Meet Dea Shelton, the Heart and Hands Behind Blackberry Designs Jewelry

Welcome to Blackberry Designs Jewelry—where colorful, story-driven charm bracelets are designed to spark joy, nostalgia, and connection. I’m Dea Shelton, the artist behind the brand, and since 2002 I’ve been creating wearable charm jewelry inspired by the charms my father collected for me and the comfort they brought me through life’s hardest moments. Each piece is handcrafted in the USA with durable, tarnish-resistant premium stainless and finished with meaningful details like genuine gemstones, freshwater pearls, crystals, and engraving—made for comfort, everyday wear, and long-lasting beauty. Whether you’re gifting someone you love or treating yourself, these are collectible, heartfelt designs meant to be cherished—not replaced.

Today, every design I create carries that same spirit. My work blends decades of experience as an artist, sculptor, designer and metalworker into heirloom-quality pieces that celebrate life’s most meaningful moments. Using premium stainless, genuine gemstones, and the techniques I’ve refined over a lifetime, I create jewelry that resists tarnish, resists time, and sparkles for decades.

I don’t follow fast fashion fads. In fact, I proudly say, "We don’t trend around here." I design for women who cherish individuality, appreciate craftsmanship, and want jewelry that tells their story. Whether you’re gifting a loved one or treating yourself, my pieces are made to be cherished, not replaced.

Since 2002, my mission has been simple:
To spark joy, celebrate memories, and create lasting beauty — one charm at a time.

Welcome to my world of nostalgia, sparkle, and heartfelt artistry. I’m so glad you’re here.
