We go looking
Every season starts with a trip. Markets, villages, back roads. Colors you don't see at home. People who have made things by hand a long time.
Then the sorting
Some days it is a storage unit and thousands of beads on the floor. You sit down and sort until you find them.
Handmade before we find them
Glass and clay beads made in the villages we visit. Carvers we go back to each season for something new.
Color is the point
The palettes come from the places and the people. Bold on purpose. A statement necklace should make a statement.
One necklace, many places
Beads from Ghana. Turquoise from New Mexico. A color out of Barcelona. Birds from carvers we go back to.
Pieces from people who will never meet, on one strand.
