About Me

I have been in love with jewelry for as long as I can remember, and started making it for myself, my friends and family more than 15 years ago. About 4 years ago, I tried my hand at chainmaille, and once it clicked, I was hooked. I love taking a form that was originally used for making tools of war, and using it to create items of beauty. When I'm not creating, I spend a lot of time searching bead shops, auctions and online venues to find contemporary and vintage glass beads that appeal to me for their color or shape. My work is available thru this site, from Etsy at BeadJeweledKKG, at Maxima Gift Center in Arlington MA, Hourglass Gallery in Melrose MA, and at home parties (Eastern Massachusetts). I am a member of the Sign of the Dove Artisans Cooperative, and in November and December my work is available at the Dove's Holiday Store.

If you have questions about my work that are not answered on these pages, or would like to discuss details for custom work, please email.

If you would like to purchase items displayed on this site using a credit card, I am accepting payments through PayPal. Email me with your selection, and I will confirm availability and send you a PayPal invoice. You don't need to sign up for a PayPal account, and the process is quick and simple. If you do not want to use a credit card, or if you would like to order custom pieces, please send me your request. I will respond within 2 business days (probably sooner!) to confirm your order with shipping costs, or to provide pricing and other information, as needed. When ordering, please be sure to include the following information: Name, Full Billing/Shipping Address, Telephone Number, and Details of items requested. Thank you.

All pieces are handcrafted. Items shown are available to ship immediately, unless otherwise noted. Special orders may take up to 3 weeks, I will let you know the anticipated time frame when you order.

Items will be shipped via Priority Mail, and you will receive an email confirmation of shipment.

If you live in the Boston area and are interested in a low-pressure shopping experience that allows you to connect with friends, please email me to discuss hosting a Bead-Jeweled home party. I've found these parties to be a great way to spend an evening. Hostesses receive gifts not available for sale, all jewelry is discounted and special show-only works are available. Best of all, it's fun!
