Welcome to KarenBea's bead and jewelery shop!

karenbea's Shop Announcement

Hi, and welcome to my Etsy shop. FREE SHIPPING in the US!

After learning the artistry of lampwork beadmaking under the guidance of Lora Tessman of ABG Studio's in Highland, Indiana, I now have my own home studio! I am still creating jewelery with purchased beads, but here are some of my own beads incorporated into bracelets that I think are really special!

My beads are made with Moretti, CIM, Lauscha, and Vetrofond glass, with fine silver embellishments. They are anealed in my Paragon kiln for strength and durability. I primarily use Hills Tribe silver in my finished designs. Photography is by Dawn Vitalone of DV Studio's.

Working with molten glass is addictive and mesmerizing, and I hope you enjoy browsing as much as I love creating!
