PATRICIA KREIDER
Patricia Dolores Kreider, American jewelry designer, has her studio in North Texas, where she designs and creates one of a kind artisan jewelry from gemstones and precious metals.
Her love for jewelry design and fabrication began decades ago, the day she held an exquisitely crafted designer cuff made in the Native American tradition. The gorgeous, almost mystical glow of the sterling silver, hand formed, and adorned with natural turquoise gave birth to an unquenchable desire to learn the craft and create her own unique designs.
“Approaching each piece with my full attention, I create an eclectic, high-end collection of original couture jewelry, which is birthed through moment-by-moment inspirations. As much as I love the labor of my hands, I take no credit for the outcomes. I am always grateful to God and respect the gift He has given me.” - Patricia Delores Kreider
Patricia believes we are all born with a natural attraction to beauty. We stop instantly to watch a glorious sunset. Majestic landscapes take our breath away. We stand enraptured before the masters’ paintings. Beauty is a gift from God, meant to bring us joy and to bring Him glory.
This irresistible attraction to beauty explains the desire to adorn the body with beautiful clothing and jewelry. This desire is as old as mankind. To enhance one's personal beauty with adornment is the siren's call to which we all are drawn.
Patricia has, for many years, answered that siren’s call as she celebrates the beauty of stones and pursues the craft of metals fabrication. The never ending thrill of working with exquisite stones and the pursuit of excellence in metal-smithing is a constant thirst that drives her to her bench year after year.
