Life is too short to live without color!

Welcome to me site!  I am Debra Worrell-Hernandez, my jewelry trademark is DH Originals.  I hope it will be apparent to anyone who views my art that there is a definite love affair between the artist and the medium.  I am "crazy-insane" about color, texture, and absolute uniqueness in each and every piece of jewelry I create. Combining beautifully unique beads and jewels with my hand-formed glass and metal work, I feel I am able to design and create distinctive wearable art that is sophisticated and timeless, yet hip and totally rockin’.  ENJOY!

About the Artist

Debra Hernandez, niece of well-known Southwestern artist and sculptor Bill Worrell, began experimenting with glass eight years ago.  From those early works, a passion for creating custom glass jewelry flourished.

Debra specializes in dichroic glass.  Originally developed by NASA, dichroic glass contains a fine coating of rare metals such as gold, silver, titanium, chromium, aluminum, zirconium, magnesium and silicon.  These metals imbue the glass with the ability to reflect and bend light waves.  Certain wavelengths of light will either pass through the glass or be reflected, causing the array of colors and shimmering effects so artfully displayed in each of Debra's pieces.  The reflections and refractions in each piece create dynamic and wearable art.  The colors shift with the environment and the viewing angle-generating a beautiful visual that is constantly changing!

Dichroic glass is virtually impossible to recreate, due to the variations in the firing.  Therefore, Debra's fine art jewelry pieces are all one-of-a-kind, capturing the energy and warmth of this glass and the incredible vibrancy of the artist.

Please feel free to contact Debra or any of her gallery affiliations if you have any questions or are wanting a custom piece of jewelry.
