CAROLE'S BEADED CRYSTAL JEWELRY features my handmade jewelry pieces, made from the highest quality Swarovski, Czech and China crystals, and Japanese beads and delicas. All metals used for earrings are either 100% sterling silver or 14K gold.
My jewelry-making experience for the past five years has incorporated many jewelry-making classes with hours and hours pouring over jewelry design publications. I even "dream" jewelry-making, and awaken many times with ideas of colors and new approaches with which to use the "precious" materials picked up in my shopping excursions at various bead shops, boutiques, vintage/antique stores and travels.
I’m drawn to the sparkling colors, textures and various shapes and sizes of materials. Mood also decides my day's choice of materials, colors and design.
Working with the elegance and daintiness of crystals (Swarovski, Czech, China), fresh-water pearls, Venetian Hand-blown glass, Natural stones, including Amethyst, Botswana Agate, Carnelian, African Opal, and many other exotic stones is my motivation for beginning new projects. Also featuring Diachronic glass creations of local bead makers make my pieces individual and unique.
