Dorana's photostream

Born and raised in Germany as an army brat, West Milford, NJ is now my home. A quaint former vacation lake community we are nestled in the northwest corner of NJ just south of the Vernon snow skiing slopes. With bear-proof trash cans, our neighborhood cat Jake was featured on the yahoo.com main page for scaring a bear up a tree!

I live with my wonderfully supportive boyfriend and our loving children Lance the yellow lab 13yo, Merlin the smelly cat who MUST be on his 29th life, and Nisha who is definitely NOT so loving and is called Catan and Nishafer... (satan and lucifer)

I have always been very artsy even though my work has taken me to opposite ends of the career spectrum as a financial educator and money and wealth coach. I teach families how to become debt-free and financially independent.

My designs are currently featured on dorana.etsy.com, ddots.etsy.com and in the Gems to Jewels 2008 Catalog.

My jewelry designs feature only genuine nontreated gemstones and sterling silver.

I love custom orders and special requests so please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns.
