Top shop for gifts.

A buyer bought a gift from this shop and gave it a 5-star review!

Announcement    Hi all,

Welcome to my shop. I adore jewelry and love wearing and making it. When I first started making jewelry I made what I thought other people would like. This was fine, but I realized recently that I just want to make what I like now, and if you like it too, bonus! So, I do hope you like it!!!

I make everything in my home studio. My jewelry ranges from hand formed copper or brass to sterling silver to glass beads to aluminum stamped cuffs made to order. Take your time and look around. And if you have an idea and want to see if it is something I could make for you, send me a convo!! I look forward to creating something beautiful with you. 😊

My products are handmade. Variation is expected due to the handmade nature of these items. Each item is a beautifully unique one of a kind piece of art. With made to order items, your piece will differ from the sample photograph.

Most of the beads that you see here have been hand Lampworked by me in my home studio in Akron, Ohio. Because my beads are handmade one-at-a-time, each bead is unique from any another (sets are similar but not exact). Sizes and shape may vary slightly. I combine my glass beads with other materials to make a finished wearable piece of jewelry.

Lampworking has been around for thousands of years. The Egyptians used small furnaces to create glass beads around 5000 years ago. I use a gas lampwork torch and soft glass (Effetre) rods to make my glass art.

Every piece has been annealed in a kiln for strength, beauty and durability, and each bead is cleaned using a bead reamer.

All of the findings (clasps, ear hooks, etc) for my lampwork beads as noted. The other beads are as noted in the product description. Many of the beads used in my designs come from my travels around the globe to places such as Cameroon, Mali, Belize, Kenya and Egypt.

Every bead is thoroughly examined for any flaws or imperfections with only the best being made available for sale.

I am also now making custom stamped jewelry. If you want something special, please ask! 😊

    I'm a single mom with a 13 yr old son. We live in Akron, Ohio with our boxer dog Sabine. I make beads to add to my income and I love it. I lampwork the glass, and make the beads into wearable pieces of art. I hope you love them like I do!
