Formerly known as Knuckle Kiss from 2012-2023, Delza is the next leg in the jewelry journey of maker/daydreamer Angela Delarmente.
From our inner space to the outer world and beyond, Delza finds beauty in the imperfect and unexpected. We play with metal, stone, and the elements of design to create jewelry that’s a little offbeat and versatile enough to make your own. Just as each piece has its own unique characteristics, so does each person who wears Delza. Whether you go for our modern metal pieces or our artful stone one-of-a-kinds, our jewelry is ready to support your self-expression.
Shop our work here at studiodelza.com or at the historic Pike Place Market in Seattle, Washington, where we’ve been members of their crafts program since 2016. Delza is also available at select stockists and the occasional craft fair or pop up.
As a kid, Angela dreamed of an occupation where she could engage her creative side and make something that was truly her own. In 2013, she quit her day job to start Knuckle Kiss, a small handmade jewelry business. It’s a pursuit that would’ve made little Angela’s heart swell.
Knuckle Kiss explored contrasting ideas and forms, with a focus on the tenderness of handmade and the toughness of metal and bold forms. Duality and liminal states of being have been strong themes in Angela’s life. She’s a Filipina-American who grew up in a military family; a baby Gen Xer with millennial tendencies; a Capricorn on the cusp; and a serious person with a deeply goofy side. She has lived many versions of herself and is working to integrate them all.
Delza marks a new season in Angela’s personal and creative endeavors.
