Beaded Jewelry by Susan
Beaded Jewelry by Susan features beautiful, affordable jewelry in classic designs--using unusual, vintage, and handmade beads.
For the past 20 years, I have been designing with beads from a wide range of materials: stone, glass, crystal, metal, cloisonnée, bone, horn, porcelain, ceramic, wood. Each design is completely unique: one-of-a-kind pieces that you will not see anyone else wearing.
The designs include elegant styles for special occasions, eye-catching treasures of lampworked glass, crystal, precious metal, or special vintage beads, usually in formal, dressy designs. My more casual jewelry is for everyday wear: at work, at home, with dresses, pants, or bluejeans. And I have lots of ethnic pieces with a touch of exotic far-away places and colorful patterns.
My work is only available at etsy.com (nearly 300 items listed) and at an annual indoor fair in Champaign-Urbana, Illinois, where I live with my husband and our five cats. When I’m not working in my studio, I’m busy with freelance editing from my home, flower gardening, reading literature, enjoying music and movies, and playing with our cats.
