Celebrity Jewelry Designer and Entrepreneur

Once deemed by an influential teacher, “A Bringer of Beauty”, Gretchen Ventura creates modern fine couture jewelry with simple, luxe designs. Gretchen’s Pathwork is both metaphysical as well as physical. She has studied Zen Buddhism, Qi Gong, A Course in Miracles, Kundalini and Inner Child Work, and other spiritual modalities extensively. Her passion for travel has taken her to India, Indonesia, Thailand, China, Morocco, Japan, throughout Europe and South America, and many places in between. The cross-section of the metaphysical and physical along with the people, cultures, food, religions, music, and customs-inspire Gretchen’s work…both internally and externally.

Raw and powerful, the fate of global components and finest craftsmanship, parallels with the muses it finds. Gretchen Ventura pieces are designed and infused with positive energy from the point of conception so that cleansing energy may flow to the wearer with the intention to help clients feel honored, cared for, respected, and seen. She aims to connect one’s self, others, and the world.

Gretchen Ventura pieces are shown in varying Neiman Marcus stores and high-end boutiques nationwide.
