Hello and Welcome to AVM Jewelry!

Hi! My name is Anna Victoria Martinez-Saltzberg and I'm based in Durham, NC. Everything you see here is made by me. I've been making jewelry for over 20 years. After lots of encouragement from friends and family, I finally have a website so I can share my creations with you!

On Saturday, November 8th I'll be at the Holiday Market at the Golden Belt 10:00am - 4:00pm

Materials that inspire the design

  • I source gemstones from NYC's Diamond District and support local bead/gem shops when I can.
  • Metals are primarily sterling silver and 14k gold-filled wire (often 24–26 gauge).
  • I love working with freshwater pearls and Austrian crystals; I also use Czech glass/crystal, turquoise, rose quartz, onyx, garnet, and topaz.
  • I'm often inspired by the materials in front of me—sometimes by favorite designers—then I let the piece take shape.
