Every offer is considered (if reasonable) and we will contact you as soon as possible with any questions, comments, concerns, and acceptance status. Every lampwork bead on here has been hand-made by our main artist, Kim Taylor. She uses high quality glass and, in her studio, takes hours to make the beautiful glass beads you will see in our gallery. Every bead is handled with great care and has bee
n cleaned, kilned, and prepared to keep them as strong as ever and from breaking upon shipping. Each bead has been tested for use so you won't buy a bead, place in in some jewelry, and have them break on you. Kim uses top of the line equipment to insure that the beads are of the best quality. The Artist:
I am a self representing Lampwork bead artist (T-49) and self representing Jewerly design artist. I have been designing unique one of a kind jewelry for ten years and making my own lampwork glass beads for eight years. I have been selling my beads here in the US and Internationally for six years. I discovered lampwork beads while shopping for unique beads for my jewelry designs. Obviously I loved beads but the thought of making my own beads was to interesting to resist. I bought a small lampwork kit and proceeded to make the ugliest bead I had ever seen. I was in love the process immediately and I kept at it. Making my own beads is truly a dream come true. My glass bead and jewelry design studio are at my home. I have been very lucky to be able to be a stay at home mom for my two wonderful daughters and follow my creative dreams. My girls were my inspiration to start my own business and they are to this day my color and design consultants and tough critics. All my jewelry pieces are one of a kind designs. I do not replicate anything. I choose top quality beads of natural material, natural gemstones, Swarovski Crystals, bali sterling silver, sterling silver components, the best stringing wire and one of a kind lampwork beads. I try not to use anything plated and never anything plastic in my designs. If there are plated components is will be specifically stated. Businesses We are Associated with:
