Big Sister’s JewelryPatty Mariano-Denning

“Big Sister’s Jewelry offers handcrafted, one-of-a-kind pieces for the adventurous spirit because life is too short to wear boring jewelry.”

Patty Mariano Denning started Big Sister’s Jewelry in Redlands California over 20 years ago. Each piece is influenced by her international travel which exposes her to a variety of cultures, architecture, customs, and religions.

Forty years of scuba diving has sent her to faraway beaches and to the underwater world where she has collected sea glass and discarded shells that she uses to create wearable art.

As a self-taught artist, Patty also uses Venetian glass, amber, hand-carved African beads, various semi-precious stones, and sterling silver. This variety of materials is what drives her creativity.

Patty continues to hear comments from return customers about how much they enjoy seeing the changing styles in her work. Artists support artists and Patty enjoys the friendship and inspiration she receives from fellow jewelry artists.
