About MJD Designs
Custom wire wrap jewelry using natural gemstones, minerals, fossils, & quartz.
Jewelry Designer
Marge Dobrofsky
I’m the kid who has always looked down while walking, looking for something shiny, colorful, or different, either at the beach, walking a forest trail, or a city sidewalk. Because of my interests in all things natural, I’m a member of a couple of rock and mineral groups.
I’ve been to quarries to dig for fossils 350 million years old, mined Selenite by battery light as there wasn’t any electricity, waded through rivers to dig along their banks for geodes, dug crystals out of crystal caves, and brought turquoise home from New Mexico. I’ve been making custom jewelry for friends and family for years, until my daughters told me to start selling them!
Thru my jewelry I hope to share with others the variety, beauty, and history of our planet.
I’m still walking and looking for the treasures our earth has to offer!
Custom Jewelry Designs
I love minerals, gemstones, fossils and crystals. In my designs, I use Sterling Silver, 14k Gold filled wire, 14k Rose Gold filled wire:
gold filled means a small metal core is heat fused with the 14k Yellow gold & 14k Rose Gold to create a permanent bond, thus making it more affordable to you. Care for your hand created items as you would any other fine jewelry.
I also repair any knotted necklaces, and enjoy recreating new pieces from your previous designs.
I love making custom jewelry for weddings, anniversaries, and other special occasions when you’d like something created just for you or someone you love.
Please email me and we can create together!
Why the Feathers?
The Importance of Feathers
Feathers are an important symbol in Native American Culture. It often symbolizes honor, power, wisdom and freedom. Feathers are thought to carry wishes and good thoughts to the heavens. The feathers on my gift boxes represent the good wishes and good thoughts I’m sending to you, my customers.
The Turquoise Seed Feather
The seed paper is the color of the sky and the seeds represent the natural beauty of our world.
“This necklace spoke to me!
The quality of the stones was instantly obvious and I found myself drinking in it beauty and somehow peaceful presence and I knew at that point I had to purchase it. It lays so simply around my neck whether I choose to wear it full length or doubled. Love it!”
“This 3 tiered necklace used to look quite different. It’s a vintage piece that Marge has reimagined! She’s updated it’s look by incorporating Roman Glass flowers. It’s very fresh and fun to wear, plus she even made some earrings to match!”
“I recently received this bracelet from MJD Designs with my name in Morse Code. The stones are Lapis. It is a special piece because it was created for me personally and not mass produced. I personally like the size of the smaller beads so I can pair it with other bracelets. Love to show it off to show my name in Morse Code. Nice workmanship.”
