Andrea Koschmann (called Draya by her friends) started Draya Designs in September 2003, after a year and a half of studying sterling silver jewelry design and fabrication with Billy King at the Sterling Quest School in San Miguel de Allende, Gto., Mexico.

Often inspired by a wide range of ethnic and tribal traditions, Andrea’s intricate one-of-a-kind sterling silver jewelry reflects her fascination with natural precious and semi-precious stones. Her work has been in galleries and boutiques in Mexico and Canada, and she is presently a member of Handwork, Ithaca’s Cooperative Craft Store.
Draya brings her baby Azalea to work with her most days.
