My work is born from a lifelong love of travel, culture, and artistic exploration. From the bustling streets of Mexico City to the vibrant traditions of Europe and beyond, I have always been inspired by the beauty of human expression. Over time, my creative journey led me through painting, pottery, stained glass, and photography—each discipline adding new layers to my artistic voice.

 

When I discovered dichroic glass in 2011, I was captivated by its ability to capture and transform light. Each piece I create begins in the kiln, where shimmering layers of glass fuse together, evolving into wearable art that reflects both color and spirit. In 2017, I expanded into fine silver clay, sterling silver, copper, and bronze, embracing the ancient traditions of metalsmithing. Techniques such as wire weaving, soldering, lost-wax casting, and broom casting allow me to sculpt jewelry that is both contemporary and timeless.

 

My collections—Evolution, Enchanted Waters, Hollow Forms, Young at Heart, Barcelona Inspiration, and Olde Tyme Christmas—speak to different facets of creativity and life’s experiences. Some pieces shimmer with playful energy, while others echo quiet reflection. Together, they form a narrative of growth, exploration, and transformation.

 

Every piece I design is an invitation for someone to carry a story with them—an interplay of light, texture, and meaning that is both deeply personal and universally connected.

 

Through Fusion Designs by Cheryl, I strive to create more than jewelry. I create art that celebrates individuality, honors tradition, and reminds us of the beauty that emerges when diverse elements come together in harmony.
