A private obsession for gemstones, pearls and silver taken public :-)
Nearly 20 years ago I became in a word obsessed with the world of beads and jewelry design, after retiring from the world of public service.
I had always been a creative individual dabbling over the years in pencil sketching, acrylic painting, ceramics and pottery. Then I was introduced to the world of 'beads' and jewelry design! Well it was a natural fit...so I started acquiring beads and taking classes and after a few years I and accumulated so MANY beautiful beads I decided to take the next step and really jump into the pond and open up a bead shop in my home.
My personal circumstances shall we say evolved and I went back to work in the public sector for a couple of years...so I opened an Etsy shop and now offer my beads to everyone out in internet land.
In my home shop I loved interacting with my customers, passing on new techniques and design advice. Above all I offered fair prices and always worked with my customers if they wanted to customize an order. I continue to use that practice here on Etsy...so if you want to purchase multiple items in different quantities than what I have listed just convo me and I will try and accommodate your request.
And as always Thank You for choosing Designing Sisters for your jewelry supplies!
