Bio

I love to combine colors, textures, and shapes to create interesting, beautiful, and affordable jewelry. Most of my designs feature hand-blown furnace glass beads, especially those created by David Christensen. Each bead is a tiny, unique masterpiece, with a silky sheen and smooth surface. Edges are rounded and polished with great care.

Endless possibilities exist when furnace glass is combined with Bali silver, Czech glass beads, Swarovski crystals, or freshwater pearls. Even semi-precious gemstone beads may show up in my designs.

I am proud that my pieces are versatile enough to wear casually during the day and also for a special evening out. I use the best quality components, such as sterling silver wire and findings, and 49-strand professional quality Beadalon beading wire. I take great care in my workmanship, so you can count on many years of pleasurable wearing of my jewelry.

I began lampworking a few years ago and love to melt and manipulate hot glass into tiny works of art. Recently I have been working with twisty stringers, silver foil, and various types of frit to create beads to feature in my jewelry.

If you are looking for wearable, high quality, unique jewelry, look no further. Charmed, I’m Sure Jewelry Designs has something for everyone. If you don’t find what you are looking for in my shop, convo me with your custom needs and I will design a piece just for you.

I now have a shop at 1000Markets www.gerryp918.1000Markets.com
