I started making jewelry about 10 years ago, as a hobby, and to destress in the evenings, after working a very hectic job. I fell in love with gemstones, their luster, and significance. I gave many of my pieces away as gifts, and was encouraged by many friends and family members to start my own business. So in 2009, I decided to go for it. I chose a catchy name, Beaded Bling, attained an Arizona business license, and chose arts and crafts show venues as the way to sell my hand crafted items.
So after seven years, I'm still at it. I must say, I truly love being a jewelry designer, and nothing gives me more satisfaction than when customers come back time and time to purchase my pieces.
