About my beads

Jury slide of beadsI make handmade beads in a large variety of colorful designs. My most popular beads are my "motto" beads. Each "motto" bead has a special phrase in Latin or Italian. The beads are totally hand made, starting from a ball of raw clay. Each bead is hand molded for size uniformity. I turn my beads into pendants using sterling silver wire, beads and charms. The pendants are strung on a double slip knotted cord that is adjustable in length. The pendant can be worn as a either a choker or as a long hanging pendant. My "motto" beads are approximately 3/4 inches in diameter.

Purchasing

As each bead is unique, I have decided it would be difficult to create an online store with images of every bead I have in stock. If you are interested in purchasing one of my beads, please contact me through my website contact information or through an Etsy conversation at my Etsy store.
