Sparkling Electroplated Glass Bead Earrings

I'm that woman who wears lots of jewelry even if I'm not leaving the house. It started at a young age when I would trail along with my Nana as she would check out all the yard sales and flea markets in Southern Oregon. I would find the most unique and offbeat pieces of jewelry and buy them for a few dollars. Over the years I've grown quite the collection but would get frustrated at how easily some of the pieces would break and get lost. About 2 years ago I decided to learn how to repair some of my own jewelry which led to lots of hours watching YouTube tutorials made by some amazingly talented and generous creators. I want to say thank you to all of them. I started buying this tool and that tool and those beautiful beads and findings now have a large inventory of things to create from. All of this eventually led to me creating new necklaces, bracelets, and earrings. I've developed my own style based on vintage-looking pieces with an Art Nouveau flair. I strive to make my jewelry as strong and well-crafted as I am capable of. I don't want buyers running into the same frustration as I did.

I work with gemstones, glass, and metal. I avoid plastic at all times. I source my materials from thrift shops, yard sales, and all the stuff friends and family have given to me along with numerous other wholesalers. My workspace is a corner of my bedroom next to a south-facing window that gets lots of light. I have 5 cats that come to supervise on occasion.

Please take a look at my selection of unique and one-of-a-kind items. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask me. I hope you will find that special gift for someone else or yourself.

Jewelry is a true work of art, meticulously crafted with care and attention to detail. Each piece is a testament to the skill and dedication of the artisan who created it. While I make every attempt to create strong, well-made pieces of jewelry, none of them are indestructible. To ensure that your jewelry continues to shine and dazzle for years to come, it is important to handle and care for it properly. Avoid exposing it to harsh chemicals, extreme temperatures, or rough handling. Store it in a soft pouch or jewelry box when not in use to prevent scratches and tarnishing. With the right care, your jewelry will remain a cherished and timeless treasure.
