Danielle Zanotelli Dublino, owner and designer of Natural DeZigns Jewelry, has been producing and showing her jewelry collection in art shows and galleries for the past eight years.  Danielle grew up in the Bay Area and was educated at CSU, Chico. Danielle continues to further her metal-smithing eduction by taking regular classes, most recently in stone-setting at Revere Academy in San Francisco.

Her studio is located in the Eastern Sierra community of Bridgeport, CA. With views of the majestic Sierra from her studio window, there is an abundance of inspiration.  Her original designs evolved from a combination of frustration and creativity.  "When I first started out, I wanted to set stone in silver but lacked the knowledge and equipment, so I designed my own technique of cold-connecting silver and stone," she explains.   

Danielle is very conscience of the controversial issues surrounding  jewelry materials in the world today.  She makes every effort to ensure that her materials are conflict-free.  She also makes frequent donations to local non-profit charities to ensure the health and protection of our natural resources.  Danielle has recently graduated from a teaching credential program and working at home with Mia June and expecting a sibling in October 2010.
