Mala Art With HeartTeresa’s Design
Teresa’s work is grounded in tradition and shaped by intention, curiosity, and lived experience. Each piece begins with inspiration, yours or her own, and unfolds through a thoughtful exploration of color, texture, and material. The result is jewelry that feels personal, layered, and made to last.
Art & Color
Color is at the heart of Teresa’s designs. Her work is deeply visual and intuitive, guided by years of experience and a collaborative creative process with her husband, whose keen eye helps refine and balance each palette. Together, they create wearable art that feels expressive, distinctive, and alive.
Make a Connection
Teresa believes jewelry should be felt, not just worn. When a piece draws you in, pause for a moment. Notice what your body responds to before your mind catches up. Color has a way of speaking directly, and the connection you feel is part of the design.
Skill & Design
Each piece reflects a balance of technical skill, creative instinct, and respect for tradition. Teresa designs with care and precision, allowing intention and color to guide the process. Her work honors craft while remaining deeply personal, meant to resonate, not perform.
How Does Teresa Work?
Teresa’s design process is informed by many sources; dreams, meditation, art, and years of study with teachers who value both tradition and personal experience. These influences are not followed rigidly, but woven intuitively into the work, allowing each piece to develop with depth and intention.
How do you choose what is right for you?
Begin with intention.
Intention shapes how we move through the world. Every object, idea, and creation begins as a thought. When choosing a piece, consider what you wish to support or bring into greater awareness. The strongest intentions are held with openness and care, for your highest good, even when the outcome isn’t yet clear.
Listen to your response.
Sometimes the connection is immediate; other times it arrives quietly. You may feel a subtle pull, a pause, or a sense of recognition you can’t quite name. Take a moment. Breathe. Notice what draws you in before you try to explain it. With space and attention, clarity tends to follow; first as awareness, then understanding, and, in time, a sense of resolution.
The Process
Individuality
Each piece is handcrafted from start to finish, making every design truly one of a kind. No two are ever exactly the same.
Growth
Teresa continually evolves her practice, integrating new techniques, materials, and ideas as her work develops.
Creativity
The creative process guides each design, balancing intuition with intention to create pieces that are both visually striking and thoughtfully made.
