Jewelry Artists

I would like it to be my full-time career, but I take one day at time. It effects me a lot because I'm always thinking what I want to make next. I'm constantly looking for new ideas, materials.

When I was 12 years old, my mom gave me crystals. I was mesmerized by how shiny they were and I loved the way the light bounced off of them.

I sell my designs on Etsy at LozuraJewellery, and through Instagram @lozurajewellery, and Facebook (Lozura Jewellery).

I work hard at marketing. I don't sell off my website for many reasons. I attended a large fundraiser for breast cancer that Harley Davidson was holding and sold $2,000 worth, giving half of that money to the fund

I was selling in some galleries, art fairs, Ebay, Etsy and recently on my website www.kastinasfashion.com.

I have a web site that acts more as a "gallery" but they can click on a design that leads to Etsy where they can purchase the item

Since I started beading many years ago, I have attended craft fairs, art shows and markets. I do a few consignment sales

I share an Etsy store with my daughter

I've always been creative and "crafty", even as a child when my mom taught me how to sew, knit and crochet. I've explored other artistic endeavors, such as spinning, weaving, dyeing, quilting and silk ribbon embroidery

Jewelry-making has become a passion with me; I feel a driving force to keep on doing it.

It started out a hobby and grew into a few festivals a year. Then placement in a few jewelry stores followed and the just-for-fun design competitions.

Pretty things that surround me inspire me to create and design jewelry.

I always plan different jewelry.

I do a lot of beading projects using gemstones and seed beads. I love doing wire work and have fallen in love with larimar and gold together.

I began as a knitter of chain mail who had a lot of beads left over from projects and failed experiments.

Jewelry-making has never been a full-time career, though I once worked full-time managing a bead store and taught jewelry-making classes

There are so many things that inspire me: nature, music, emotions, state symbols of United States, the power of color combination and many more.

I have a website, attend craft fairs and do home shows primarily. This is a second source of income right now--I am mostly just trying to sell enough so I can keep making more

I feel that jewelry-making keeps my brain active. I make jewelry on a daily basis. I am trying to make it a full-time business.

I have always felt that the more experiences you have in life, the more you are able to offer in your work. On my journey, living life, exploring and unfolding as an artist, I find inspiration for my work in various mediums.

The visual impact, the color and condition of a dilapidated barn can be captured in a piece of metal.

I'm a retired Math teacher... I sell to friends, family and interested customers of the bead stores I worked for and teach at.

I sell primarily from my Etsy shop, Buy the Place with Beads. I struggled to conceive a witty title for my shop, and the few clever ideas I proposed were already in use. I'm a Bob Dylan fan, so I borrowed a line of his to inspire my shop's name.

I started finding joy in jewelry when my grandmother first set a bulging bag of assorted beads in front of me. I would sit for hours learning to...

Jewelry, in fact all wearable art, is important to me. Early in my career, I saw the positive impact that wearing something beautiful had on the wearer's spirit and mood

Recently, jewelry-making has become absolutely crucial to my well-being.

I like making pretty things. It gives me a sense of accomplishment and makes me happy.

I work with copper and silver wire and semiprecious stones and beads. I prefer working mostly with copper lately because it gives so much freedom to experiment and create different designs without being too costly

Color drives me. I enjoy finding new beads with great colors and mixing them to create one-of-a-kind pieces of wearable art.

Jewelry-making is now part of my life as a part-time hobby. It emotionally takes my mind.

I am a Dutch beadwork hobbyist living in Switzerland and prefer seed bead off-loom weaving, but I also appreciate other techniques (stringing, wirework, etc). Classic and modern, small- to medium-size necklaces with matching ring and earrings using pearls, seed beads, gemstones, cabochons and glass is what I prefer to make

I'm a sculptor by profession and my medium is primarily polymer clay and papier mache. I bead as a hobby in order to wind down and relax.

Meet Barbara, a designer who finds inspiration in color, materials, and jewelry pieces. She embraces variety, working in many mediums.

I like seeing beauty in nature-made things and then I usually want to make something that I want to wear myself.
