Welcome to RebelTide, where Diana creates her own handcrafted jewelry. Diana, along with her dog and significant other, live in their van located in Venice Beach, California. Their van, a mobile haven, offers them the freedom to travel extensively along the Pacific Coast. Their journey is shaped by the open road and the moments that inspire them
Diana’s Jewelry collection includes handmade necklaces, rings and pendants, each crafted to reflect a life lived with freedom, creativity and purpose. RebelTide is shaped by the very essence of living life authentically on your own terms as well as the stories collected along the way - whatever that may be or where they may be.
RebelTide is about embracing the freedom to live fully, to create without limits, and to pursue what lights you up. It's about following your own path, whether you're traveling the world or living day-to-day with purpose. Diana’s Jewelry represents this mindset- pieces that reflect adventure, individuality, and the joy of doing what you love. The belief behind this collection is simple: when you pursue your passions without fear, you open the door to a life that feels not only more fulfilling but also freeing. It's the kind of freedom that makes you feel truly alive, where fulfillment and freedom go hand in hand.
What sets RebelTide apart is the personal story behind every creation. As a nomadic entrepreneur, Diana gains motivation from her exploration, experiences and memories that she has made along the way. As she travels she gathers materials such as sea glass from the beaches she visits and creates one-of-a-kind jewelry while on the road.
Diana specializes in making rings that feature sea glass, each one hand-picked and crafted from scratch using sterling silver through the art of metal-smithing. As a self-taught artisan, she has developed her skills over time, turning raw materials into unique pieces. Every ring reflects a combination of natural beauty and the care put into creating something special.
These moments fuel Diana’s creativity, inspiring her to design accessories that capture the essence of her journeys. But these creations go beyond reflecting her experiences—they invite others to live authentically. This is what makes Diana feel more fulfilled and free, as she embraces the freedom to create and live on her own terms. Let these accessories serve as reminders to embrace inspiration and adventure, and to follow a path that is uniquely their own.
Embark on this journey with Diana, letting her handcrafted creations inspire you to follow your own unique path. Rooted in the spirit of adventure and crafted with care, these pieces are more than accessories—they’re reminders to live boldly, take bold steps, and embrace each moment. It’s about following your dreams, creating a life on your own terms, and finding the freedom and fulfillment that come with it. Let these pieces be your connection to the beauty of exploration and a constant reminder of the endless possibilities that await in your story.
