Marianne became inspired to make bead jewelry in 1996, after noticing jewelry designs at a local craft show. After taking several classes at a neighborhood bead store, her fascination with bead jewelry grew. She began experimenting with different stones, colors, and textures, and is continually searching for new ways of designing bead jewelry to fit women’s varied lifestyles. She creates one-of-a-kind original pieces that incorporate both the old and the new. She enjoys seeking vintage glass, vintage silver findings and accessories that accentuate a piece she is designing. One of her unique talents is re-designing old bead jewelry, transforming a piece from an outdated look to a eclectic, contemporary look. Let Marianne help you re-discover your accessories and have them become your “wearable art”.
