Materials
In 1984 Ted began working with and learning from the master craftsmen of the American jewelry industry in Rhode Island. In fact, she still works closely with many manufacturers in the USA today. Her experience with these craftsmen have been a major influence in her design aesthetic. Ted’s passion for designing eclectic, unique and timeless pieces are reflected in the materials she chooses for her designs.
Stones
TEDV designs feature hand selected materials from around the world. Each piece is handcrafted using Precious and Semi Precious stones and Pearls accented by touches of European glass and Austrian crystals.
Plating
Each piece is finished with a 24 Karat matt gold plate laid over pressed brass and lead-free castings made in the USA.
