About Sixth Floor Designs

Sixth Floor Designs was named after the Hospice In Patient Unit (HIPU), located on the sixth floor of a local hospital in Rochester, New York.  It is there, that I learned so much about the journey through life and death, and for that I am eternally grateful.

Hospice Centers worldwide, are devoted to offering comfort care to the terminally ill, their caretakers, family & friends.  These very special people devote their lives to the care of others throughout an illness, and through bereavement.  Volunteer opportunties are always welcome and as a volunteer, I can tell you, it is an honor and a privilege to volunteer with Hospice.

A portion of proceeds from all jewelry sales are donated to Lifetime Care/ Hospice of Rochester, New York. 

About Di Russell Horn 

Being a self taught mixed media artist, I have a passion for all things fun & funky.   I fell in love with jewelry designing and execution years ago, so after much prodding from family and friends, I decided to share my jewelry, and start a small company.  

My family is incredibly supportive.  My sounding board for new designs, critic, champion and hero is my son Brian.  he has no problem with honestly letting me know what will work and what designs fall short.   My husband has always encouraged my creativity, doesn't mind when there is no dinner on the table or the laundry is piled up.  His support allows me freedom while I fly and create.  My brothers both offer encouragement, love, and unique marketing ideas.

My girlfriends are amazingly supportive and encouraging, without them, I would not be designing and selling jewelry today.  They pick me up when I'm down, give me inspiration and unconditional love (which is very mutual).  There is no greater relationship than a woman's friendship.

There is nothing more exciting than creating a piece of jewelry with found objects from my stash (which has now spilled over into a second room, as well as my studio and garage!).   I love many aspects of art and like to incorporate different techniques into a piece of jewelry.  My favorite thought is "What if I ........".

In my world, there are no accidents or mishaps, just divine guidance.

I hope you enjoy fun & funky jewelry as much as I do.  Feel free to request special custom pieces, or take a workshop and let your creative self soar to new heights!
