Ph.Beads -Jewelry by a Marine Biologist Ph.D. (get it?)

phbeads's Shop Announcement

I’m a full time marine biologist...and metalsmith. My mind wanders...usually to good places...sometimes to very odd little places all by itself...

My jewelry is made using traditional techniques such as lost wax casting, forming and a variety of stone settings. I construct all my jewelry to be of high quality in every detail. I'm anal, I'm a scientist, give me a break...

Of course as a biologist I'm vigilant about being eco- and ethically conscious in my use of materials and use recycled metal, old stock or vintage materials whenever possible. I only use gemstones from non-conflict sources. You'll notice my packaging is recycled stuff - my awesome tags and signs are made by my friend Shirley!

I love the creative process of working with my customers on designs. Being a bit of an obsessive I have tons of different stones. Keep in mind there is always variation in natural stones and custom work may take a little longer and vary in price. That only means it will be just what you wanted!
