About the Artist
Hi, I’m Kathy, the artist behind Victoria’s Southwest Designs.
In May 2025, I celebrate 20 years of creating jewelry — all handcrafted by me in my home studio in New Mexico. As a native New Mexican, I draw constant inspiration from the colors, textures, and spirit of the Southwest.
My greatest joy is creating pieces people love to admire — and truly love to wear. I work with my hands, guided by creativity, intention, and a genuine love for beads and design. Every piece is custom handcrafted and designed to feel bold, elegant, and meaningful.
My Work
I use high-quality materials, including:
• Freshwater pearls
• Semi-precious stones such as turquoise, coral, lapis, and more
• .925 sterling silver findings
My designs have a bold contemporary style with a distinct Southwestern character. Earrings, necklaces, bracelets, and rosaries are all carefully and meticulously handcrafted, one piece at a time.
In 2025, I will also be reintroducing leather designs to my collection.
From My Hands to Yours
You are more than just a customer — you are a valued part of my journey. One of my primary goals in every creation is to bring you joy and something you’ll treasure for years to come.
I take great pride in my work and create each piece with passion, honesty, and care. Every design is authentic and inspired by the moment — often influenced by the mood of the day — allowing each piece to become truly one of a kind.
Art Shows & Exhibitions
I currently participate in Art & Craft Shows throughout:
Oklahoma, Arizona, Colorado, Texas, Nevada, New Mexico, and California.
Thank you for supporting handmade and for allowing me to do what I love.
