Inspiration tends to surface in unexpected places.
Jewelry for the magpies and myth-collectors.
Every Painted Raina piece begins as an original illustration created by the artist before becoming acrylic jewelry cut and assembled in the studio. The designs pull from folklore, natural curiosities, mysteries beneath the waves, and symbols that feel older than language.
Hi, I'm Raina
Artist, musician, scuba diver, cat mom, bookworm, and alien enthusiast.
I’ve always been drawn to the quieter corners of the world — deep water, moth wings, old forests, symbols carved into forgotten places.
Painted Raina grew out of my love of illustration and the desire to turn those drawings into something people could actually wear.
Every piece starts as artwork before it ever becomes jewelry.
From Illustration to Jewelry
Each design begins as a drawing before being translated into acrylic jewelry.
• The illustration is refined and prepared as a design file.
• Prototypes are tested and color combinations explored.
• Once finalized, pieces are cut and hand-assembled in my studio.
The process is part illustration, part experimentation, and part wearable sculpture.
The Worlds Behind the Work
Painted Raina designs tend to return to three realms:
The Night Garden — luna moths, forest creatures, cryptids, and fragments of imagined elven architecture.
The Saltwater Realm — coral reefs, sea life, ancient wrecks, and Sea Witch energy pulled from the mysteries of the ocean.
The Mischief Cabinet — feminist phrases, dark humor, and the occasional cupcake.
Some pieces feel mystical.
Some feel mischievous.
A few are both.
All of them come from the same place: curiosity about the beautiful, curious details that make life more interesting.
Painted Raina is jewelry for people who like their beauty a little wild.
