Thank you for for visiting Ardent Designs! Ardent Designs is a creative endeavor by Joelyn & Joe Welch, based in Ypsilanti (ip-sil-anty) which is in south east Michigan.

Ardent Designs jewelry & glass creates top quality hand made fashion jewelry from only the highest quality materials, including solid Gold, Silver, semi precious stones and custom made Fused Glass. Ardent Designs Photography shoots high end architectural photographs, location portraiture and sells art prints, note cards, greeting cards and other photographic items at several online shops.

Ardent Designs jewelry & Glass started out in 1998 with a passion to bead jewelry. Practicality along with a unique elegance are the priorities that guide Ardent Designs. I enjoy using natural stones, crystals and glass. I also love to work with contrasting metals and colors.

I have always had a fascination with glass and in 2008 I have added fused glass creations to my collection. I am excited to be expanding my techniques with warm glass and look forward to creating wonderful and stunning pieces in this new medium.
