Beads

I’ve been making jewelry in some form or other for 20 years, but my favorite tools are fire and a hammer. Loud and hot, that’s me! I mainly work in fine silver (.999% pure – no alloys, which means little-to-no tarnishing), sterling silver and copper, fusing, soldering, forging and planishing each piece to bring out its perfect shape and texture.
 

After a successful career in public health administration, I began to explore the world of gemstone jewelry. My goal is to offer unique jewelry, created by hand, inspired by the natural beauty of semi-precious gemstones and cultured pearls from around the world. My jewelry combines the gemstones with fine metals and is crafted with care to last for many years to come. Many of the findings are handcrafted from either gold-filled or sterling silver components. My timeless designs are simple, yet elegant. They represent affordable luxury: elegant and looks (but isn’t!) expensive

 Hi,
  My name is Emily and I design vintage-inspired jewelry using authentic costume jewelry from the Hollywood Glamour Era. My Etsy shop is Lady Bejewel. I fell in love with vintage costume jewelry 2 years ago when my sister gave me a brooch for my birthday and I've never been the same since!

My name is Jodie Henry and my Etsy shop is http://jhenrydesigns.etsy.com. I create soldered jewelry (and other sorts) and am having a blast. I am a graphic designer by trade and have been for almost 15 years. After being laid off in Jan 09 (4th time in 10 years) I've decided to go the freelance route...and also start doing what I LOVE! So I make jewelry with birds, butterflies...and um...scooters.

Thank you for your interest in my work at LiciaBeads.com I began my beading passion in 1990 and have been collecting and selling beads since then. I sold items while in school and at college to obtain a little extra spending money (which was used to keep me well caffeinated). The addiction to all things sparkly has snowballed to the point that I now sell hand selected semi precious sparkles too at my Vault store.
