Diade Design is boundless, tectonic, and personal. It is a creative brand born of collaborative exploration and joy. The word ‘diade’ is a hybrid of the founders’ middle names. The word ‘diade’ roughly translates to ‘two crowns,’ a serendipitous meaning as they are designing contemporary  adornments.

The founders of Diade Design are Alanna Gladney and Sara Silvestri,  two ladies who became best friends in architecture school at Mississippi State University. After professionally practicing architecture for nearly a decade, they realized they missed the process of making.  In the summer of 2018, they began designing and making jewelry.

They draw inspiration from their design education, the work they create at their 9 to 5’s, and the worlds they experience daily. Currently, they enjoy designing and creating jewelry using simple geometries and a palette of neutrals and metals.
