New York City native Jane Diaz has collaborated with Nepalese metalsmiths for fifteen years to create a unique handmade line of designer jewelry. A graduate of the Parsons School of Design, Jane designs her jewelry in her Soho studio, and then forwards them for production to Nepalese artisans. This production influence adds to the unique elements in her designs.
