-- MADE to ORDER beads are currently taking 3-5 days for turn around --

I have been designing and making handmade lampwork for several years. I enjoy making all kinds of styles, and am a one-person operation out of my home studio on the beautiful Keweenaw Peninsula in Michigan's UP.

Thanks for visiting!

These beads are absolutely beautiful! 🤩 The best I have seen yet. Taara’s beads are skillfully crafted. I have ordered several sets of beads and they look exactly like they are shown. I receive excellent customer service for every transaction.

Absolutely great customer service! This seller is a jewel 💎! I am very picky and she works with me very well! That is commendable, I’m very hard to please. Her talent at this “Lampwork “ artistry is beyond amazing.
