VariationsOnABead

Hi! I'm Stephanie, and I'm the one woman show that is Variations on a Bead.

I try to set up a booth at many of the local handmade markets here in Northern California, plus I travel for my day job and have made the decision to go back to college, so don't be surprised or discouraged to see that I'm often "on vacation." I spread myself thin (hence my need for anxiety relief) and love every minute of it, but that sometimes means I have to limit my focus.

My main goal is to provide my guests with delicate gemstone jewelry that can be worn for any occasion. When you think of metaphysical jewelry, you often think of chunky stones and intentionally rough settings, which is utterly gorgeous and has a rustic, magical feel. However, some of us would like to obtain our gemstone energy in a more subtle style, and I am hoping to fill that gap in the market.

To sum things up, I am making jewelry that I love for myself and sharing it in hopes that others love it as much as I do.
