Today we’d like to introduce you to Leigh Navarro. Them and their team share their story with us below:
Leigh and Susan Navarro have been designing and making jewelry and artwork for decades. Susan started her art-making business in the 1970s, creating wild and exciting wall hangings that were innovative and especially important to the time and backdrop of the Seventies-era Southwestern United States. Leigh started selling her handcrafted jewelry as a kid, right alongside her mom, Susan, at art shows in West Texas, New Mexico and throughout the Southwest. Leigh and Susan used what they had learned over the years to create a successful line of enamel and leather jewelry in the mid aughts and now have set their sights on creating Dawn + Dusk.
By working with crafts people in the USA and around the world, Leigh and Susan have created D + D. It is a fun, approachable line of jewelry that is well made, well-priced and more effectively, very wearable. Dawn + Dusk incorporates whimsy and sparkle with cubic zirconia, natural gemstones, created gemstones and sterling silver or vermeil for the metal choices.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
It’s never really a smooth road, but we are lucky to end up on the good side of hard work! We have been working for decades as artists/designers and we have had tremendous luck and also times that were tougher than others. If you are reading this and need a little encouragement, keep it up!
Thanks – so what else should our readers know about your work and what you’re currently focused on?
We love all of our jewelry because we created it with both wearability and luxury in mind. We take a lot of pride in designing our fun and sexy jewelry!
