Natasha has been passionately designing and crafting her own unique jewelry items since early childhood, slowly honing her creative style over a 20 year period. Her current work focuses on incorporating found objects into handcrafted mixed media art pieces. Insects, antique doll parts, stained glass, vintage metal stampings and ephemera of all kinds find their way into After Dark designs. Natasha creates many of her beads, pendants and focal pieces out of clay and mixed metal and paints each by hand with an aged patina finish. As a result of her chosen media, the finished jewelry pieces are extremely durable.

After Dark Jewelry is the culmination of a life-long dream for Natasha: to develop an artistic business based on uplifting, inspiring and adorning the female form. Her goal throughout the creative process is to encourage women to be bold, daring, and utterly extraordinary -- to embrace their own unique qualities, both inside and out. Natasha weaves a story within each miniature work of art, and hopes those who choose to wear her handiwork will feel the strength and love she infuses into every piece.

After Dark Jewelry is a company devoted to preserving and protecting our planet's natural resources. We make every effort to ensure we are utilizing techniques and practices that are environmentally sound, both at home and in the studio. Natasha does not use leather in her designs. Rather, she focuses on developing techniques in clay which mimic the sheen of embossed leather. The end product is much more versatile! After Dark does incorporate insects and other wildlife into its jewelry, but will only use found insects which were discarded or have expired naturally in the wild. We do not wish to contribute to the loss of our natural resources but serve as a means to celebrate nature. As a proud resident of Austin, TX, home of the largest urban bat population in the world, After Dark Jewelry donates 5% of every sale to Bat Conservation International.
