I was disappointed with the mass production look and quality of store bought jewelry. I believe that individuality is what sets us all apart. I began creating my own costume beaded jewelry while working at Fire Mountain Gems in 1997. Today, my work is crafted from quality materials including artist crafted lampwork glass, natural gemstones, pearls, crystals, antique glass, steling silver, gold fill, and vermeil. I strings all my pieces on strong, multiple strand wire one at a time. My work is crafted solely by me. Each piece is designed and created individually and will never be duplicated. Necklaces and bracelets have stamped sterling silver "Beau Teak" labels attached. I have participated in juried craft shows in Washington, California, Neveda, and Oregon.
