Fire Mountain Gems and Beads Featured on Empowered with Meg Ryan
Jewelry making is more than beads, wire and tools—it’s an art form that connects people and sparks creativity. Fire Mountain Gems and Beads is proud to share that our dedication to makers everywhere has been highlighted in Empowered with Meg Ryan, a nationally recognized program that celebrates craftsmanship and innovation.
What Is the Empowered Video Series?
Empowered is a storytelling-driven educational series that shines a spotlight on organizations making a difference in their industries. Each segment is carefully produced to combine interviews, behind-the-scenes footage, and inspiring narratives, reaching millions of viewers across multiple platforms.
When the Empowered team approached us, they were excited about the artistry and community behind jewelry-making. Together, we developed a series of videos designed to celebrate the creativity and passion of makers everywhere and to share our story in a new way.
Why We Did It
Since 1973, Fire Mountain Gems and Beads has been more than a supplier—we’ve been a partner to artists and hobbyists around the world. Participating in Empowered gave us the chance to tell that story to a wider audience.
The project included:
- Interviews with key team members to highlight our mission and history.
- Footage of our work and culture, giving viewers a behind-the-scenes look.
- Spotlights on artistry and education, showcasing how jewelry-making empowers people to create and connect.
This collaboration aligns with our mission: to support makers, provide quality materials and celebrate the joy of creating.
Three Videos, One Story
The Empowered collaboration resulted in three unique pieces, each with a different focus:
- Public Television Segment (3–5 minutes) – An educational short airing nationwide, hosted by Meg Ryan.
Watch now › - Corporate Image Feature (5–6 minutes) – A behind-the-scenes profile with an in-depth look at our company, shared with targeted viewers.
Watch now › - 30-Second Digital Short – A quick, engaging feature airing on major networks like Fox Business and Discovery Life.
Watch now ›
Each piece was designed to educate, inspire and invite viewers into the world of jewelry-making.
