About DeAnna Cochran

Jewelry with a mission. Wear a story, your story.

DeAnna Cochran is a metalsmith and designer with a singular mission:
To help women transform loss into hope—and wear their story with purpose.

Working from her studio in Georgia, DeAnna creates handcrafted, modern-day heirlooms that reflect faith, strength, and meaning. Her passion is rooted in her “Wear a Story” collection and faith-focused designs, though her love of form and color shines through in her limited-edition pieces as well.

Her journey began with personal loss. In 2004, DeAnna and her husband, Stacey, welcomed their son Jackson four months early. He passed away before reaching one month old. That season of grief became the turning point in her life and her art. Drawing from her deep faith and creative spirit, DeAnna began designing memorial jewelry as a path to healing—and ultimately, as her life’s work.

Though her roots in jewelry began as a teen working in her aunt’s jewelry store, DeAnna’s formal education in metalsmithing was earned through a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Metalwork from the University of North Texas. Before launching her jewelry business, she spent over 15 successful years in the tech industry, leading global operations and earning the title of her company’s first Six Sigma Black Belt. That experience, along with inspiration from her travels and exposure to diverse cultures, continues to inform her work today.

Since founding DeAnna Cochran Jewelry in 2004, she has helped individuals, nonprofits, ministries, and organizations tell their stories through custom pieces—each made with intention and care. She is also committed to sustainability, using reclaimed metals and ethically sourced stones in her designs.

DeAnna still wears her very first creation—a ring crafted from old gold and diamonds in her aunt’s shop—as a reminder of where her journey began. “In the journey,” she says, “we may not always understand why we’re in a particular season. But I’ve learned to trust the process—and God’s greater plan.”

“But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles;
they will run and not grow weary,
they will walk and not be faint.” – Isaiah 40:31
