About

Hello and welcome! I'm Vanessa Rivera, the creative force behind our exquisite hand-beaded jewelry collection designed to elevate and commemorate the special moments in your life.

In the realm of femininity, strength is your birthright. Expressing your beauty, allure, and innate strength as a woman should be unabashedly yours - no apologies needed.

I craft jewelry not just as an adornment but as a celebration of self-love. You deserve to revel in that feeling every day.

My journey into jewelry design began during my years as a stay-at-home mom in the midst of a verbally abusive marriage. Nights spent immersed in the art of jewelry making became my sanctuary. From wire-wrapped designs, I transitioned to the enchanting world of beaded jewelry, forever captivated. Beads and stones collected during my travels between Lima, Peru, and Washington DC became the building blocks of my craft.

Vibrante Jewelry emerged as the focus of my MBA thesis at the Maryland Institute College of Art. However, the realization of an abusive marriage post-graduation halted its immediate launch. Today, post-divorce, I channel my creativity to empower women. My life, career, and Vibrante Jewelry are dedicated to celebrating life's special moments, including divorce parties – because every milestone deserves acknowledgment!

My lifelong passion for jewelry-making encompasses the intricate art of beading Japanese beads and Austrian crystals alongside handpicked semi-precious stones from around the globe. I believe in celebrating women's lives. Every day is an occasion deserving of a party, whether it's a significant event or your daily runway moment. Adorning yourself transforms your energy, and I'm here to make that happen.

Beyond the jewelry studio, I'm a devoted mother to four children and a full-time marketer in commercial solar energy. Every purchase contributes to supporting survivors of domestic violence at House of Ruth Maryland.

Are you ready to elevate your next celebration?
