Ariana Corrado

Ariana Corrado creates jewelry that honors the unique journey that every woman makes through life, the world, and her own self. Her exquisite pieces are treasured by discerning women around the world.

Creativity runs deep in Ari’s blood, coming as she does from a lineage of artists and artisans. The jewelry techniques she employs were acquired over years of travel and study in Latin America. Whether digging for seeds on riverbanks in the Amazon basin, poring over macramé and beading with artesanas in coastal Peruvian pueblos, or discovering gems in the Sacred Valley, Ariana Corrado creates her art from the Earth and the beautiful lands and peoples which spring from it. Ari grew up in Seattle and currently resides with her two children near Lac Leman in the picturesque town of Vevey, Switzerland.

Ari’s training in the healing arts is essential to her creations. Her extensive work with plant medicine and the Shipibo medicine people, her background in Vipassana meditation and yoga, and her long-time study of cross-cultural shamanism and applied spirituality with her teacher Char Sundust have shaped her conception of life as a ceremony to be lived and honored joyfully, moment by moment. She is the vessel through which creative energy pours forth; her job is simply to step aside and let the muse take over...

Complementing the spiritual element of her work is meticulous craftsmanship. Her sharp eye and capable hands are integral to the quality of these one-of-a-kind pieces. Each work is begun from spooled wire and sheet metal and is shaped, cut, soldered, filed and polished by hand. Beads and stones of the highest quality are set or woven and wrapped in prayers and wishes for your well-being. As such, each piece is a living meditation.
