Announcement
Susan Brackett is an accomplished designer with an eye toward the elegant, the unconventional and the playful. Her wearable art has been featured in Artizen Magazine and exhibited at shows and stores throughout Southern California. Each design is meticulously handcrafted using skilled beading techniques and exceptional, high quality materials to create statement pieces that are authentic and original. Designs are not mass-produced; many are one of a kind or limited editions while others are custom pieces commissioned by customers. In addition to beading and teaching techniques, Susan designs kits and downloadable patterns for beaders of all levels to try on their own.
Susan’s adept skill set began as a hobby over 40 years ago with sewing, tatting, embroidery and weaving techniques. Once she found bead embroidery and bead weaving, it grew into a passion and expression of her own unique design perspective. Susan’s style can be expressed as boho chic, art nouveau, modern vintage and fantasy. Influences of her Native American and European heritage can be seen as inspiration for many designs, while others are driven by their alluring materials including natural stones, rare minerals and fossils, hand-carved bones, vintage cabochons, lampwork beads and more. Susan proudly supports the art community and celebrates distinctive styles of art by often featuring unique, handcrafted materials from artists all over the world.
New pieces are continually added so please check back often. Follow us on social media for the latest news and upcoming sales:

Shop policies
My jewelry is handmade bead embroidered using a variety of fine glass beads, natural stones, Swarovski crystals, freshwater pearls and other high quality materials. I have been beading for over 40 years and it is my deepest pleasure to bring to you pieces created with love and great attention to detail.
None of the pieces you see in my store have ever been made twice. When creating a custom piece, I can borrow some elements from previous designs, but you will never find two exactly the same. Each piece is different and has it's own character making them as unique and one of a kind as each and every one of us.

JEWELRY CARE INSTRUCTIONS
Beaded jewelry is special and unique, but how do you clean it? Every time we wear jewelry, we expose it to chemicals (in the air, lotions, perfume and hair products), weather conditions and even oils from our skin. Beaded jewelry is delicate and requires a little special care and attention. Here are some tips to keep your beaded jewelry looking beautiful for years to come.
-Prevention
An apple a day keeps the doctor away and a few easy steps will keep your handmade jewelry looking great. Keep jewelry away from chemicals such as perfume, cosmetics, hair products and lotions as they can damage and alter the look of beads, stones, crystals, metal and pearls. When applying cosmetics, perfume and other products, let them dry completely before putting your jewelry on. Remove jewelry before doing household and avoid showering, swimming or sleeping while wearing your pieces.
-Care
Proper, regular cleaning will keep your pieces looking great. Use a soft cloth to gently wipe clean your jewelry after each use. This will remove the oils from your skin and debris picked up throughout the day and help prevent tarnish. Avoid using paper towels or tissue as they can leave scratches. Do not use jewelry cleaner as it will damage gemstones.
-Storage
When you are not wearing or cleaning your pieces, keep them safe from the elements and accidental damage. Store beaded jewelry flat in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. If possible, store each piece separately in a plastic bag with the air squeezed out help prevent tarnish and accidental damage.
