About
Dana Lee Eustace is the designer and self-taught silversmith behind Hazel Eyes Jewelry Studio. With a background in graphic design and a lifelong need to create, Dana approaches jewelry as wearable art—balancing organic form, thoughtful composition, and meaningful detail.
After moving from Pennsylvania & Delaware to Camden in 2025, Dana found new inspiration in the area’s rivers, historic landmarks, ancient trees, and equestrian heritage. She often begins with reclaimed silver, melting and shaping it by hand into pieces that retain the beautiful irregularities created by heat and movement.
Natural gemstones—including Montana sapphires, blue topaz, and citrine—add color and individuality.
Her Wateree Riverstone and Camden Stillwater collections reflect the quiet movement of water and the imperfect beauty of nature.
New Camden-inspired designs are also being developed to celebrate the places, stories, and symbols that make this community distinctive.
Dana opened Hazel Eyes Jewelry Studio in downtown Camden in July 2026. Her hope is that each piece feels personal—something chosen not only for its beauty, but for the memory, meaning, or connection it carries.
Dana’s original photography also captures the architecture, landscapes, and quiet details of Camden, with selected images featured in her growing postcard series.
