About the Artist

Welcome to Magdalena Moon!
Jewelry Designs by Darlene Troyer

I’ve been creating art since I can remember. I must have been no more than 3 years old when I created my first "Picaso" on my parents freshly painted basement floor. I spent hours with a can of Ajax, at my mother’s request, removing that masterpiece!

"My spirit is dancing
in the light of the moon"

Through the years I dabbled in more acceptable forms of art: painting, quilting arts, rubber-stamping, collage and photography just to name a few. My mother always said that I had a special talent and I needed to sell my work. It has taken me many years to believe in myself and in her words and go out in the world with my designs. Now she watches from above as I create jewelry. It is in her honor that I have named my business, "Magdalena Moon".

Most of my jewelry designs are made from Precious Metal Clay (PMC). I took my first PMC class three years ago and I instantly fell in love with this incredible product. I was hooked! PMC is composed of powered precious metal particles (fine silver or gold) in a clay like base that is created from an organic non-toxic binder and water. I have taken classes with several experienced PMC artists and continue to learn as much as I can. Creating wearable art jewelry made with PMC gratifies my creative spirit like nothing else I have done.

I am a Level 1 and Level 2 PMC Certified Instructor and a member
of the PMC Guild. I teach PMC classes in my home studio, at requested locations and locally at the Carnegie Institute for the Arts in Three Rivers, Michigan. Check my PMC Teaching Schedule for more information.

My jewelry designs can also be found at the following art galleries
