Our Story
DTC Southwest Designs was founded in 2017 by Diane Castillo. With a background in pencil, watercolor, and sculpture, Diane brings her artistic vision to one-of-a-kind wire-wrapped jewelry.
Our Mission
Diane’s journey into jewelry design is rooted in her passion for artistic expression. Over the years, she has explored various mediums, each contributing to her unique wire-wrapping approach. Her designs capture the beauty of gemstones, nature, and Southwest culture, creating pieces that are truly one-of-a-kind.
Our VALUES
Each piece is meticulously handcrafted using high-quality semi-precious gemstones, sterling silver, copper, and brass. Our wire-wrapping technique combines traditional metalworking with contemporary design, resulting in pieces that are both timeless and distinctly Southwest in character.
