About Denise

The Extraordinary for Everyday

Denise James took a life-long passion for jewelry collecting to a new level over 12 years ago when she began designing her own line of jewelry. Denise, who was a 20-year Malibu resident until she recently moved back to Idaho, started out designing one-of-a-kind designs from beads and materials collected while traveling the globe. That drew her to the study of adornment and collectable beads, and eventually spurred her curiosity to study of jewelry design, gemology and goldsmithing.

The Denise James line includes wide-ranging collections, from simple to stunning beaded creations, from easy-style to elaborate gold and pave diamonds. “The inspiration for each piece comes from different parts of my psyche, from my recollections of travels, my memories of old family photographs, from my favorite books and films,” says Denise. “I just listen to my instinct, pile the stones together, sometimes in outrageously large combinations. And I move the different materials in the light. I know when a piece is right.” There are pieces that have been worn to the Golden Globes, and on the beach.

Denise is always creating and designing new collections, which are now available in 18K yellow or white gold, platinum and silver. To see more of the collection, please visit our website at www.denise-james.com or follow us on Facebook.
