My Name is Noelle Kostraba and I have been making custom wedding jewelry for about 5 years. I got my start because I couldn't find anything out there for my own wedding. Everything looked so cheap and was made with base metal which can give some people like me an allergic reaction.

I decided to take a class and make my own wedding necklace. I also wanted to use only the highest quality materials, so my jewelry will last to be handed down for generations of brides to come. I only use high-end Swarovski Crystals and quality metals for brides who want only the best. I do sell some barefoot sandals made from Czech glass but it is noted on the item.

Since I owned a nail salon, I was able to put my necklaces on display and make a few for my clients. Being a nail tech uses a lot of the same skill set as being a beader, patience, the ability to design and work well with people. I still do gel nails here in Denver, Colorado so if you are looking for a beautiful set of nails for your wedding look up Gel Nails By Noelle. I was really excited to have 4 of my designs make it to the finals of this year's Fire Mountain Gems Beading Contest!
