About the Designer, Company and Products of D'Shell Designs Jewelry

THE COMPANY
D'Shell Designs is a fashion design company specializing in handcrafted
beaded jewelry and gift items. The quality and uniqueness of each piece, a
keen sense of style, and exceptional customer service differentiate this
design house from competitors.

D'Shell Designs offers jewelry in a variety of six different style lines and
additional specialty lines. Each line bears the name of one of the
designer's dogs (past and present) and reflects the personality of the dog
it’s named after. Although the D’Shell Designs jewelry pieces can be
mixed and matched from line to line, the different style lines provide
organization by a general theme. The purpose of these lines is not to limit
your creativity, but to provide you with a direction for the look you want to
achieve with a particular outfit. Dawn Anderson Graham, Owner and
Designer, handcrafts each piece individually to give it a unique identity.

All beads and gemstones are carefully selected from around the world to
provide the utmost in variety.

THE DESIGNER
Dawn Anderson Graham, owner and designer of D'Shell Designs, has been
in the fashion design industry since 1991. Growing up in a Connecticut
town, an hour outside Manhattan, she attended the University of
Connecticut, beginning in design, and received her Bachelor's Degree
from the School of Family Studies. She moved to Sacramento, California,
shortly after graduating from the University of Connecticut in 1985.
While living on the West Coast, Dawn worked in the modeling and fitness
industries. She moved to Knoxville, Tennessee, in 1990.

In 1991, she began designing her own line of jewelry under a company
called Wild Concepts. After a number of years, and with valuable
experience under her (always fashionable) belt, she started D'Shell
Designs in December of 2004. In addition to her passion for art and
fashion, she has always loved animals, especially dogs, and her dogs are
the inspiration behind each of her lines. She currently has four dogs,
three of which are rescue dogs. She supports both the humane treatment
of animals and punishment for animal cruelty, supports local pet rescue
organizations, and is a member and monthly supporter of the ASPCA (The
American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals).
