Greetings! I'm Debbie Yannuzzelli and I am the designer for Nyx Enchantments jewelry. I'd like to take a few moments to share with you a little bit about myself and how Nyx Enchantments began. I am one of the rare Colorado natives, and I wouldn't live anywhere else! I am privilaged to share all the beauty of this state with my husband. I love the outdoors and all the activities that go along with it. Outside of making jewelry, finding new and wonderful things to take pictures of has become one of my passions. Many of my photos can be found on my Flickr page.

Nyx Enchantments jewelry is handcrafted and designed using fine materials such as Czech glass, Swarovski crystal, sterling silver, freshwater pearls, and some of my favorite semi-precious gemstones. Many of my jewelry items are one of a kind pieces which means you have the gratification of knowing that you are the only owner of your precious jewelry piece!
My jewelry making journey began one day when I was visiting a nice little bead store in Durango, Colorado, named Beads and Beyond. This store was so delightful, very much like the town of Durango. The 6 hour drive to this four corner area town is always worth the beautiful trip. As I looked around the store I was so intrigued by all the colors, shapes and styles of the beads. On many occasions, I have purchased jewelry made from inexpensive materials. It was after seeing all these wonderful beads, I just knew I could create items more to my liking.
The desire to create jewelry that was unique and of higher quality than the store bought, mass produced items lead to the learning of this craft. It was then that I set out to learn all I could about the art of jewelry making. I began by reading. Next I took jewelry making classes from a local bead store. It was then that I jumped right in and let the creative process begin! I started out making a few items for myself and very soon after this, I found myself surrounded by all these colorful, wonderful beads, and sterling silver findings.
My learning continues, as I study design techniques and hone my skills. I have found that I truly delight in designing new jewelry and my biggest gratification is to see my creations worn by someone who takes as much pleasure in wearing my jewelry as I did in designing it.
I love the challenge of creating custom jewelry, so if you see something within my pages and find you would like an alteration, such as a different color, ear wire style, metal, length, or if you have something entirely else in mind, please contact me and we'll discuss your needs.
If you see an item for which you'd like a matching piece made, let me know. As long as I still have the beads in stock, or are able to easily obtain them, I should be able to accommodate the request.
Nyx Enchantments jewelry is made and packaged in a smoke-free and pet free environment and I am a non-smoker.
Thanks for the visit!
