** About the Designer **

Mabeline Gidez (that’s me!) has been creating distinctive, handcrafted jewelry for more than 10 years now. In addition to crafting her own exclusive line of beaded finery, she also teaches jewelry-making classes at several popular Southern California bead shops and recently taught 10 different classes at the 2009 Bead & Button Show in Milwaukee, WI.

She has also appeared three times on the Carol Duvall Show on HGTV! See how to make a beautiful enchanted jeweled wreath bracelet in Season 16, episode # 1647. In Season 17, episode #1729, she shows you how to weave a sparkling daisy chain bracelet. Lastly, in Season 18, episode #1818, learn the herringbone weaving technique with wire to make a chic pendant.

Some of her clients include the late Buffalo Springfield drummer, Dewey Martin and famous TV host/crafter, Carol Duvall. Also, she has provided custom earrings to ABC's popular shows, The Bachelor and The Bachelorette.

With a bachelor's degree in Graphic Design, Mabeline incorporates her knowledge of design and color theory into her work, creating unique timeless pieces that are chic, classy and fashionable. Pieces from the Gidez collection not only rounds out a fashion ensemble, but also adds to the wearer's presence and mood.

Inspired by natural beauty and diverse genres of music, Mabeline uses these stimuli to create pieces exuding both visual balance and harmony. Her art, reflecting both her interior and exterior worlds, speaks for itself.
