Welcome to The Art and The Bead
Unique Designs in Gemstone Jewelry


I want to make a confession right now.....I'm a Jewelry Junkie!

My passion for creating jewelry comes from my love of unique items. I love the sparkle of the Swarovski Crystal, the exotic look of the Balinese Silver, the shine of the polished Sterling Silver , the uniqueness of the Semi Precious Stones, and the funkiness of the various Glass Beads.

My first foray into beading came from entering a funky little bead shop in my area to check out the sparkling gems hanging by the window. Turned out to be strands of Swarovski Crystal! After many classes, and way too much bead shopping, I found myself creating many different pieces of jewelry and loving every moment of it.

Just recently I've started working with metals and creating hand woven chains. Those will soon be available to purchase at this site.

I enjoy creating custom pieces for special ocassions. Whether it's for the bride-to-be, a special friend or maybe even your babies first bracelet. My styles range from casual to funky to elegant.

Thanks for shopping. I love getting your feedback. I hope you'll have as much fun wearing my jewelry as I did making it for you.
