Welcome! My name is Katrina and I am the owner/ designer of Beads by Katrina. I have been making polymer clay beads for about 10 years but I loved doing it so much I decided to turn that hobby into a business. My goal is to provide you with a unique, affordable, and quality product that you will love and wear for years to come. Beads by Katrina specializes in handmade polymer clay bead jewelry. Each bead is unique and handmade with polymer clay by myself. The designs are my own and created using special techniques, including the labor intensive millefiori/caning technique so the designs are a part of the clay beads and not painted! I strive to create the best jewelry possible by using only high quality materials such as premium brand polymer clay, genuine Swarovski crystal accent beads, select rhinestone encrusted crosses/pave beads, and sterling silver earring backings. My designs may be imitated but my quality and price will never be replicated!
