Iva Hladis

My jewelry making journey started in 1993. After 21 years of metalsmithing I left Los Angeles for Sonoma County and started my own line in 2016. The work is a mixture of fibers, antiques, feathers, unique beads and mixed metals. I learned jewelry requires lots of engineering. Every piece I make proves that fact with ingenuity. My jewelry takes hours to complete, especially the needle-felted wool components. I take pride in creating one-of-a-kind pieces and am always searching to advance my designs.
