ABOUT
Hello hello! I'm Patricia.
Welcome to PAVIENNA. This is truly a dream come true. I live in Orange County, California, with my husband Steven, my daughter Vienna, our two cats, Snuggles and Arlo, & our dog Jack.
I am the sole creator behind PAVIENNA. Handcrafting jewelry has given me a unique sense of empowerment. In 2004, started making beaded jewelry, quickly becoming very popular. Next thing I knew, I was selling at local farmers' markets.
While exploring and learning different techniques, I discovered sheets of brass and copper at my local craft store. The magic of transforming a simple piece of metal into something unique was exhilarating, to say the least. That was the beginning of a collection of colorful hand-painted jewelry. The inquisitive part of me wanted more, so I decided to incorporate gemstones into my pieces and made my first purchase of sterling silver! I purchased a couple of tools, a little handheld fire torch. With a few how-to videos and my determination, my journey began.
My creativity influence was my mom. As a little girl, I watched her make custom clothes and draw birds and flowers on mantels to sell. Inspired by nature and incorporating feathers, beach stones, sea glass, turquoise, and abalone shell hand cut and shaped by me, is a way of rendering homage to nature's gifts to me.
I hope my jewelry not only captures your heart but also becomes your favorite daily wear pieces. ❤️🌻

Shop NowA space in my kitchen was my first work area. I quickly outgrew it and made my own creative space, which I love and spend plenty of time. Even my husband and my daughter love to hang out trying to make it their own, lol!👩🏻🎨❤️🌻

My daughter, Vienna, is my muse and the heart of PAVIENNA. As a child she always collected what she called "lost treasure"- shells, stones, bird feathers, sea glass and sometimes she would bring roly-polies and set them on the grass so no one would step on them. Some have made their way into jewelry. She is beautiful, intelligent, incredibly creative, and kind. I'm so proud of her. ❤️🌵🌻

I'm blessed to share this creative life with my small family of big supporters. My husband's unwavering support makes it possible for me to do what I love. Our life is filed with fun trips in search of "lost treasures", and gem shows where I hand select each single gem thinking of its possibilities and the homes they will go to. Together we are three peas in a pod.❤️🌻☀️🌊
