All our designers are family. We have shared life long interests in a variety of endeavors to produce handcafted
projects in many mediums. Our members pursue a variety of interests in addition to making jewelry-health & physical fitness instructor,
antiques, reupholstery, gardening, making organic skin care products, photography, production of sustainably harvested & environmentally friendly wood floors, practicing new techniques for healthy food
preparation, website creation using html and css. The following are some of our past/present occupations:teachers (elementary, special needs, high school, home economics), physical fitness
(Pilates) instructor, dietary consultant, food service director, nursery owner, real estate agent, pathologist, and our most important jobs-wives,
mothers, and grandmothers.
Living in the Piedmont and/or mountains of North Carolina gives us the privilege of being one to two hours from the mountains or five to six hours from the seacoast, the best of all locations for living, relaxing or
vacationing. Examples of the beauty of our surroundings are seen in the pictures on this page. The area has many skilled artisans and a rich heritage
and reputation among travelers for the production of skillfully made handcrafted items.

The major portion of our web site development and jewelry production is done by one member. After retirement and the necessity to pursue less
rigorous physical activities, she has become enthralled (husband says adicted) with designing and making jewelry as well as designing and improving
the web site to display the jewelry. The other two members having many and varied interests are not concentrating on jewelry making exclusively at this time.
Elizabeth, our younger member has designed a web site to review all her present endeavors which can be seen at

Jewelry making has become an intriguing, fascinating, and consuming passion.
Our jewelry designs are original and unique. All our members, perfectionists, strive to make classic handmade beaded gemstone jewelry worthy to keep for an heirloom. Each piece of our jewelry is
meticulously handmade with care and attention given to detail as if we were going to wear and keep it for ourselves. Some designs are reminencent
of past years. We love the challenge of drawing on the years of our experiences to develop new designs and look forward to supplying your unique needs
for handmade beaded gemstone jewelry.
