DANA’S FAVORITES

My Summer Favorites

Hi! I'm Dana, founder and designer of Dana Rebecca Designs. I’ve always believed that jewelry should feel personal—each piece a little milestone, a memory, or a daily reminder of who you are and where you’re headed.


Summer in Chicago is pure magic. After months of chilly weather, we finally get to soak up the sunshine—and I love leaning into effortless style. Think breezy sundresses, beachy waves, and golden-hour dinners on the patio. This season, I’m layering up with light-catching diamonds, playful pops of color, and pieces that move with me from day to night.

Meet my sister, Jen!

If you’ve been around here a while, you know Dana Rebecca Designs is a true family affair—and I’m so excited to introduce (or reintroduce!) my sister Jen.Jen leads our wholesale division and is the queen of bold, layered jewelry stacks.

She’s got an eye for mixing metals, playing with texture, and taking a look from simple to standout with just a few pieces. I love sharing our different takes on styling—we’re sisters, but our personal styles bring something totally unique to the table.

Staples in my Stack

Some jewels never change… just kidding! But honestly, the base layers of my necklace stack have stayed pretty consistent for years. The Ava Bea Tennis Necklace, Poppy Rae Pebble Eternity Necklace, and Poppy Rae Pebble Link Necklace are almost always on my neck—they’re the base of my stack. I love switching things up with different anchor pieces depending on the day, my mood, or what I’m wearing.

My sister’s stack

My sister, Jen, has a pretty epic stack, too! She loves layering her tennis necklaces cuban chain pieces to create a bolder gold look.

The bracelet we’ve been teasing for months...

She’s finally here! The DRD Diamond Paperclip Bracelet has made her way from our dreams to your wrist—and trust us, she’s worth the wait. You’ve seen her on Instagram Stories, spotted her on Jen (basically her second skin), maybe even caught a glimpse IRL. A favorite in both of our wrist stacks, she’s bold, timeless, and brings just the right amount of sparkle. We’re obsessed—and we think you will be too.

My New Ring Rotation

This summer, I’m switching it up—and going bold with gold.I’ve been loving a chunky, golden ring stack lately. It’s effortless, elevated, and perfect for everyday. These are the rings I’m reaching for on repeat. It’s giving golden hour, all summer long.
