Designs by Amy Jean Healthy bead addiction. Carefully crafted pieces. Welcome. I rarely meet a bead that I do not like. Jewelry design has always been a passion of mine. Amy Jean

I approach my work with creativity and care. Jewelry tells a story. Thank you for being here. I love the art of design and think it's safe to say that most of my work stems from an intuitive flow combined with focus & care and an eye for design. I believe that jewelry tells a story and I think that using natural stones and meaningful pendants really appeal to the desires of the buyer. Jewelry making is a meditative process for me and each piece is carefully crafted. I am completely obsessed with beads and I really enjoy making them into wearable art. I gain a lot of inspiration from fashion styles from around the globe and love to celebrate other cultures. Also, I gain inspiration from much earlier times as well as modern trends, but I definitely appreciate unique pieces that stand out. I love working with gemstones, any stone from the earth, crystals and gemstones, they are not only beautiful, but I think their healing properties are felt and enhance jewelry for the buyer. I love raw, recycled and organic materials... Bone, stone, metal & wood as well. Really, one can never have enough beads!
