Joan Eagle, owner and designer of Chipita, has been making jewelry in Southern Colorado for more than 40 years. Joan loves the search for the interesting stones, antique glass, and interesting sterling and gold parts that she incorporates into her designs. Many of her pieces reflect the heritage and culture of South Colorado.
Joan uses rare vintage beads, precious, and semi-precious gemstones in her work. There may be some color variation in the stones used, and due to the nature of vintage beads, there may be some slight design variations from piece to piece.
