Nail tech turned bridal jewelry designer extraordinaire!
I was getting married and I couldn't find anything unique and classy so I decided to take a beading class and that was it. I found my new passion and also found I was addicted to sparkles! You know how it is, you are driving or walking along and (SQUIRREL!!!!)
I fed my addiction by attending beading classes most weekends from world renowned designer Lana May. (Sooo thankful she lives in AZ too!)
When my wedding photographer commented FIRST on my bridal necklace, I thought I might be onto something. I mean, she sees thousands of pieces of bridal jewelry a year right? Don't most people comment on your dress first?
I owned a nail salon and my nail clients started commissioning me to do their bridal jewelry and someone suggested that I put up a few pieces on Etsy back in 2009. I ended up getting much too busy with work and my new beagle puppy, Chandler. I just didn't work my Etsy shop at all for 3 or 4 years.
In 2013 I finally decided I was really going to follow my dream of designing sparkly things for Brides and formal occasions.
I have since completed my Two Be Wed Jewelry website, https://twobewedjewelry.com and my new designer website called NoelleKostraba.com. It features backdrop necklace collections which are designed much more elaborately. This means longer backdrops and double backdrops which means......MORE CRYSTALS and MORE SPARKLE which equals MORE BLING!
