Having grown up in a family of antique dealers, Dena Bagon compiled her own collection of Georgian and Victorian charms and left them untouched until recently, when she started modifying them into elegant, contemporary designs. She gave these as gifts to friends and family who cherished them for their highly personalized nature.  The images and materials of these up-cycled antiques carry symbolic meanings like “good beginnings” and “endless hope.” As the pieces were admired and interest grew, DJO Jewelry was born. Her line is currently being featured in stores in Beverly Hills and Santa Monica.

In conjunction with the opening of the show Trim, Front Gallery welcomes Bagon to Houston on December 7th as she presents her work in a trunk show at Front Gallery from 4-6 PM.
