Welcome to the Dillon and Nattarika Collection!
Thank you so much for visiting our new web presence. We figured we would tell you a little about us and what our business is about. The D&N Collection is a our gallery of the handmade jewelry and gems our family makes in the southwestern united states, as well as items we have collected locally and abroad that we feel accent our wares. We focus on handmade sterling silver and Turquoise jewelry by Dillon and Nattarika Hartman as well as the gemstones we hand cut and sell at wholesale prices. We accent these items with gemstone jewelry we create as well as handmade jewelry from around the world. Each piece is hand selected or created by us.
We have been in the jewelry business for over 25 years. Dillon comes from a well known jewelry family whom have been creating handmade turquoise and silver jewelry since the 1970's. Both Dillon and Nattarika are predominately self taught jewelers and gemstone cutters. We have learned many techniques from our family.
Dillon was born in Durango, Colorado USA. He has been creating jewelry for most of his life, beginning as a young child helping around his father's silver jewelry manufacturing company doing odd jobs and basic jewelry assembly. In his early 20's Dillon learned to cut gemstones from his father. Today Dillon creates bench made jewelry and cuts turquoise and other gemstone cabochons.
Nattarika was born in Chiang Mai, Thailand. When Dillon met Nattarika she was in college majoring in fabric design. After Dillon and Nattarika married she began learning to silver smith and carve wax. Nattarika specializes in bead jewelry and lost wax jewelry. Today she cuts gems with Dillon as well.
Our jewelry is inspired by southwestern styles and designs as well as designs from Thailand and Southeast Asia. We have a heavy dedication to gems, but also love creating pieces without gems.
We have our jewelry in a few high end galleries but mostly sale our piece directly to collectors via this website, Instagram, and eBay.
You can find our hand cut gemstones a on our two cabochon sales profiles :
