Bead Jewelry: 2017 Launch

BEAD  JEWELRY  of  NATURAL ELEMENTS
Featuring Lampwork Glass, Porcelain, and Minerals
While intricate or bold designs make a statement, simple and classic pieces are oh-so versatile.  
Both can be customized for your colors and length.  Attention is paid to providing pieces you will feel good wearing.  Coordinating pieces provide variation without being too "matchy" when stacking or layering.

For beauty and color stability, I use beads in glass, porcelain, and natural minerals.  
All materials are colorfast to protect your skin and clothing, with metallic-glass favored 
over use of base metal, reducing oxidation and skin reactions.  

Custom sizes and colors, easy-use larger and magnetic clasps, as well as color-coordination 
with your apparel, are easily facilitated through e-mail and photos.

Necklaces from $57 - Bracelets from $25  
Semi-precious stones and Cultured Pearls beget higher prices
