About 30 years ago the name ANIA ORIGINALS came about when a group of 5 friends and I all opened a shop specialising in fabric crafts. I specialised in applique. Over the years many changes were made due to family etc and Ania Originals reemerged a few years ago as ANIA ORIGINALS FUSED GLASS JEWELLERY. Then I bought a bigger kiln and it became ANIA ORIGINALS FUSED GLASS JEWELLERY AND GLASS ART. Well, that seems so long that, as I have been wanting to commemorate my darling mother and lovely aunt, both Italian I decided to use my Aunt's maiden name to use just on the JEWELLERY side. So Anna D'Afflitto was born. The jewellery I make is original and unique and I hope to be taking orders for those special occasions when something stunning is required
