My name is Yvonne and beading is my passion. I've taken classes with well-known bead artists to help me advance toward making quality jewelry. Since I'm not a painter, I like to use the beads as my palette. I've tried to learn as many beading stitches as possible so that I could bring beauty and uniqueness to each bracelet, necklace or earrings I make. You can be assured that each stitch and each bead is individually sewn into my work. I incorporate the finest Swarovski crystals, pearls and rivolis into my work as well as delicas, seed beads, freshwater pearls, cabochons, charms and gemstones. I seek out lampwork beads along with unusual beads or shells to incorporate them into my jewelry so each piece is unique. Sterling silver, copper, and lead-free pewter findings and wire are used in my pieces. Custom orders are welcome. My goal is to bring you jewelry that will last a lifetime and put a smile on your face.
