Judy Dailey has been a resident of Plumas County since 1972, drawing
inspiration from the natural beauty and close-knit community she calls
home. Her artistic journey began with stained glass, etched glass, art
on tile, and early jewelry design.
About 15 years ago, following an injury that required her to shift toward
more manageable and portable art forms, Judy found her true passion
in jewelry making.
From bling to organic, her work features wire wrapping, wire weaving,
metal forging, and copper electroforming using sterling silver, fine
silver, 14/20 gold-filled wire, copper, and bronze, often incorporating
Swarovski crystals, cubic zirconia, and natural stones.
She is especially known for her custom horsehair jewelry, created using
a client’s own horse’s hair or carefully sourced materials, resulting in
meaningful wearable art.
Through her work, Judy blends craftsmanship, storytelling, and a
lifelong love of art into every piece she creates.
