Andrea Menghetti

After graduating from college Andrea Menghetti taught English in a small Italian town, traveled throughout Italy and fell in love with the creativity and artistry of the Italian people. Upon returning to California a year later she realized that her fondness of Italy was not a passing fancy, but something that would become a life long interest.

Andrea began working with Venetian glass over 20 years ago and loves the vivid colors and intrinsic history handcrafted into each and every bead. Her jewelry designs focus on elegant combinations of color, geometric shapes and asymmetrical balance. She enhances the beauty of the beads with her use of Swarovski crystals, freshwater pearls, sterling silver and gold fill findings. The result is a modern and alluring collection of finely crafted jewelry at affordable prices.

Andrea and her skilled staff of artisans handcraft each piece of jewelry in her California studio located in Pacific Grove.

“One of the most appealing aspects of jewelry is that it transcends words and borders, speaking a common language of understanding to those who seek and appreciate beauty.”
