Who Is Dana Rebecca?

Dana Gordon is a third-generation jeweler which basically means she has diamonds in her DNA. Having been designing jewelry since she was sixteen years old, it’s unsurprising Dana launched Dana Rebecca Designs at the tender age of twenty-three and grew the brand swiftly - only two years after launching Oprah featured a pair of Dana Rebecca earrings in her Favorite Things!Dana Rebecca pieces are often described as dainty, delicate, and layer-able. Sparkling pavé set diamonds and rainbow-colored gemstones are staples in her designs. The Dana Rebecca collections display a variety of styles yet all pair together beautifully. From the sleek, modern bezel settings of Lulu Jack to the playful pebbles of Poppy Rae, there is a collection for everyone (probably several, actually). There is no compromise on style nor quality and her pieces are all produced with solid 14 karat recycled gold and conflict-free diamonds.

How It All Got Started

Dana Rebecca was raised in the industry, often spending hours behind the scenes at her father's factory. During the summer of her sixteenth birthday, she traveled to India with her father and returned home with her first collection. To her shock and delight, it sold out in 48 hours. Each summer thereafter, she continued designing and selling her pieces. Soon, her hobby began to turn into a passion.She did not initially set out to follow in her family's footsteps but had her eyes set on law school. She attended the University of Texas in Austin and studied corporate communication and business, all while continuing to design jewelry. By the time she graduated, she was faced with an important choice: to continue with jewelry, her passion, or pursue law school as originally planned. In 2007, after graduating from the Gemological Institute of America in Carlsbad, California, she founded Dana Rebecca Designs.
