My name is Julie, and my passion for beading began about 19 years ago. As with many hobbies, my beading projects started small, making a few pairs of earrings here and there. Then one of my recently purchased costume jewelry necklaces broke, so I tried to repair it. The repair was successful. Then I thought to myself, if I can repair necklaces, why not take my beading abilities to the next level? So I began making necklaces. This was a long process, with much trial and error on materials and craftsmanship. It was only a matter of time before I began making watches because I have always been the type of person to own multiple watches from each color scheme.
  
   Then one day my hobby became much more than that. I started looking at the jewelry that I had made over the years and how I was still wearing the same pieces. At about the same time, I became aware of what few jewelry options were available on the market for the consumer to buy. My frustrations were that on one end of the spectrum, precious stones, gold and sterling silver were available, but expensive. On the other end of the spectrum, costume jewelry was available which often times consisted of painted metal beads and plastic beads. The metal used would often change color from gold to silver and sometimes copper. Then the industry started to change.
 
    I started to notice the availability of fine glass beads in every color of the rainbow and every shape imaginable.  At this time there were also semi precious gemstone beads available for the jewelry maker to purchase and use to make their own jewelry. At this point, I realized that I wanted to make jewelry not only for myself, friends, and family, but on a much larger scale.   I felt the jewelry market needed a variety of handmade quality jewelry somewhere in the middle of the spectrum. Today, I combine my experience, creative energy, and a genuine desire to exceed customer expectations to provide you, the consumer, with a unique piece of jewelry that will last.

   Some of the stones I am proud to offer are Nevada Turquoise, Certified Baltic Amber, Lapis, Botswana Agate, Jade, Amethyst, Garnet, Onyx, Amazonite, Aventurine, Tiger Eye, Rose Quartz, and several kinds of Jasper, to name a few. The stones I offer will change and vary over time depending on availability.
Thank you for your interest in my jewelry, and I look forward to building you that special piece of jewelry that you can enjoy for years to come!
