In the world of jewelry design there are certain singular statement pieces that grab attention as they glitter their way into hearts and minds of the wearer. Welcome to the jewelry of D&A.

"Quite beauty with hard edges is the defining balance of the Austin-based Demian & Alex jewelry collection. Dubbed "D&A", the male- and female-friendly accessories line consists of everything from earrings, necklaces and bracelets, to belt buckles, rosaries, and dog tags.

Brothers Demian and Alex Vazquez pride themselves in creating an eclectic mix of design with both Latin and Southwestern undertones. Recently voted 'best overall designer' and 'best men's designer' at Austin Fashion Week, the brothers are humbled and excited by the recognition..."

Designing in yellow, white and rose gold, pave diamonds, sapphires, and mixing in sterling silver, brothers Demian and Alex Vazquez, the D&A behind the brand, find inspiration in their Latin heritage, fashioning original designs with a passion for the aesthetically unique. Their artistic integrity shows in each of their fun jewels that make a statement and what comes through is their decidedly sexy rock n' roll edge that has become the signature look of D&A.

Fashion design roots run deep in the Vazquez family. Born in Guadalajara, raised in Santa Fe, New Mexico, and now based in Austin, TX, the brothers took inspiration from talented designing family members and in six years have built D & A into a thriving design company with a loyal following. Celebrities who have embraced the "D&A mystique" include Jada Pinkett Smith, Pierce Brosnan, Val Kilmer, Natalie Maines, Robin Williams and Joey Kramer of Aerosmith to name a few. D & A jewelry is available at select stores and boutiques nationwide.

During the 2011 Austin Fashion Awards, Demian & Alex won two of the evenings most prestigious awards: "Best Overall Designer" (People's Choice) & "Best Men's Designer" (Industry Choice).

At a time when luxury no longer means big ticket but rather unique, unusual and certainly not cookie-cutter, welcome to the world of D & A, where jewels are art and luxury reigns.

Inspired by their Latin heritage the collections are dark and dreamy, light and classic, hot and clever, modern designs with an ancient twist. These original designs will surely turn heads and evoke gemstone envy.

Pure love is sweeter the second time around; that’s what the D&A Brothers’ Sanctuary V2 collection proved. Back with more creativity, the Sanctuary V2 collection aggressively challenges the conventional meaning of fine jewelry to give space to the desires of the newer generations to express themselves in newer, more unique ways. The Sanctuary V2 collection houses finely designed and artfully crafted silver pendants. Among the available silver pendants is the chic Silver Heart Pendant- Sacred Heart Wing Pendant, Silver Skull Pendant- Medium Disc with skull and hearts and an interesting variation, the Silver Heart Pendant – Medium Disc with cast cross & small sacred heart.

Never worn a dog-tag in your life? D&A redefines the plain dog-tag and makes every D&A dog-tag the centerpiece of any jewelry collection. One of the great things about silver dog-tags is that they tend to catch your attention repeatedly; and not without good reason. Feast your eyes on silver dog-tags like the insidious Sanctuary Dog-Tag with Skull & Crossbones & Black Pearl and you will be thirsty to see more. If you like even more black pearls, see our tastefully crafted Sanctuary Dog-Tag with Cross, Skull & Crossbones and Black Pearls. This particular silver dog-tag has a three-pointed cross as the central design, bordered by four riveting black pearls on the border.

If you dislike the staid charm of plain cufflinks, we assure you that we have a penchant for breaking traditional forms. Wear your skull cuff links loud and proud and take flight with the matchless Sanctuary V2 Large Skull and Wings Cufflinks or a smaller variant, the Sanctuary V2 Cufflinks and Small Skull and Wings. Pearls and cufflinks? D&A proves that the two can be melded seamlessly; proof of this can be seen in the Sanctuary V2 Large Wings and White Pearl Cufflinks.

If you like cuffs, you’re going to love the intricate designs of our koi cuff, the Carved Sterling Koi Cuff with Cherry Blossom and Embellishments and other cuff bracelets like the Sanctuary V2 Carved, sterling cuff with cross embellishments. We also have silver rosaries (sterling silver rosary- hand made) and pearl rosaries produced from gold and pearls.

Everyone needs a sanctuary, a hidden world where the Self can retreat and recharge its energies. D&A Brothers presents the Sanctuary Collection, a finely crafted line of fine jewelries designed to represent everything about your favorite sanctuary or hideaway. A place where you can rest and feel yourself again.

The Sanctuary Collection has an enviable line of exquisite silver bracelets that can be worn daily to remind you who you are and why you chose to be unique. D&A Brother’s silver bracelets include the stalwart sterling Men’s Sanctuary Bracelet by D&A with Skull and Wings for the guys. For the women, a no less sturdy but definitely feminine Women’s Divinity Bracelet by D&A with Sacred Heart and Roses would simply look majestic. Other icon combinations can be found in the Women’s Sanctuary Bracelet by D&A with Skull, Wings & Roses. You would never run out of options with the Sanctuary Collection.

We also have very comely skull bracelets both for men and women. For the women, see the Women’s Slender Sanctuary Bracelet by D&A with Skull, Wings and Roses in 18-karat gold.

For those who want specifically a heart icon, we have a silver heart bracelet too; the Women’s Chancel Bracelet by D&A with Sacred Heart & Wings in 18-karat gold. Earlier, we already featured one of our silver sacred heart bracelets; additionally, we also have the Women’s Divinity Bracelet by D&A with Sacred Heart, Wings and Roses. If you want a skull icon, then just take a look at the finely crafted Women’s Chancel Bracelet by D&A with Skull, Wings & Roses in 18-karat gold. Skulls and gold; aren’t they the perfect rebellious match?

The Sanctuary Collection also features other fine and stimulating fine jewelry such as silver dog tags (Sanctuary Dog Tag with Peridot), silver bracelets (D&A Signature Chain Bracelet), Virgin of Guadalupe pendants (Virgin of Guadalupe Shield Pendant) and unique rock n roll jewelry such as the Woodstock-inspired D&A Wrist Wrap Sterling Chain Bracelet.
