I personally design and assemble each piece of jewelry to the highest standards (mine!) using only 100% Sterling Silver clasps and carefully selected beads of Sterling Silver, semi-precious stones, glass, wood, horn and other natural materials.

Many of my necklaces and bracelets feature the work of incredible artisans that I have found from all across the United States and beyond.

A few artists whose work you will see in my designs:

Patty Scheri creates beautiful one of a kind abstract pendants that she hand paints on a thin piece of metal and attaches to a wood backing. Patty’s pendants are amazing!

Eleanore Brown creates beads from all kinds of fibers, using a process that she developed herself. My favorites to design around are her multi-colored and “tweedy” looking beads. Eleanore also brought to life my vision of beads made of lace!

Casey Schell makes lampwork glass beads that are detailed and elegant in beautiful color combinations. Casey was the first bead artist that I bought from directly- after that I was “hooked”!

Other lampwork and dichroic glass artists whose work I love to use:

I still have many more beads and pendants from other artists that I have not used yet!

I also am selling my jewelry on a site called Etsy.  My store there is  www.andreasjewelry.etsy.com   Etsy is an incredible group of 200,000 talented people from all over the world selling handcrafted items that they have made.  You can find any item that you can think of that is handmade- and you are buying it directly from the artist.

Please see the FAQ area on this website for details on the materials that I use in my jewelry as well as options for earwires and posts for earrings and even magnetic clasps for the necklaces and bracelets.

I now have a blog!  www.andreaskitchen.net   There is also a link to it on the left side of my web pages on this site. Andreas Kitchen is a gluten free cooking blog which features my original recipes that are healthy and easy to prepare using minimal dairy and sugar and taste great!

I hope you get as much enjoyment from my work as I do!
