| Welcome to
PJ's Beaded Creations - Thank you for visiting me! I am a home-based Jewelry
Designer who has been working with incredible Lampwork glass
beads, stone, Swarovski Crystal, Bali Silver, Hilltribe Silver
and 14k Gold-Filled for almost 6 years now.
When I first started beading, I didn't even know how to
crimp a bracelet or use the right materials! I have
advanced in a big way in the last 3 years!
I love working with all kinds of different mediums, but my
favorite would have to be Artist's Lampwork Beads. I
cannot believe the quality of workmanship and detail in each
bead. A lot of my designs revolve around Lampwork Beads.
I work with carefully balanced patterns that is easy to
recognize. I am so right-brained that it is hard for me to
do something abstract!
Now, after almost 6 years, I am getting a well established
(and much appreciated!) customer base, and I also sell locally through Art
and Craft Shows and am fortunate enough to display and sell my
pieces through the Mansfield Arts Centre. I am always searching for new outlets to sell in...please contact me for
more info!
My bead-stringing style has evolved and changed
substantially, and I now use only the finest components
including Sterling Silver crimp beads and Bali Sterling Silver
direct from my favorite sources. There are many, many
imitation Bali Silver manufacturers in the market now, which is
why I only purchase from the source. The imitations are
very well done, and you honestly can not tell if you are
purchasing pewter with silver plate, or if it's actual Sterling.
You can trust that I will never try to pass off imitation Bali
made of pewter as real Sterling Silver. Likewise, all my
stones, such as Turquoise, and my crystal, which is only
Swarovski(R) Brand, are genuine. I value the finest
ingredients and do not use anything imitation in my work.
So, yes, my prices are a little higher than the imitators works,
but well worth it in the feel and look of each piece.
Stringing materials may break down after time, (especially
if you wear them while washing your hands or applying perfume),
but this isn't due to bad construction, it's mostly that the
materials just aren't as advanced and impervious as I wish they
were! My items are strung on first-quality beading wire,
which is at least 49 strand fine-wire cable coated with nylon.
My earrings are on Sterling head pins, with Sterling ear wires.
Even the end-crimps and silver balls are Sterling Silver.
These pieces are meant to be worn and enjoyed often!
(But, please keep items out of the dishes, chlorine, perfume,
lotions, or oils, spa or tub, pool, shower, and the sink!)
If repairs are ever needed, I cheerfully do them at little or no
charge. If you are in town, you can call me and arrange a
drop off or pick up. Out of town, please return to (email
first) and I will pay postage back.
I hope you will enjoy visiting my site. Please
remember that most of what I make is much more exciting, unique,
and spectacular than what you see here in these pictures.
I accept Paypal, credit cards via phone, Personal Checks
and Cashier's Checks or Money Orders.
Each of our creations are a unique piece of art to be admired
by many, but only worn by one!
