Our studio is located in the famous Laguna Beach Arts District in Laguna Beach, California. I have been selling my handcrafted jewelry at juried festivals, shops and galleries throughout the United States, Europe and South America. I love making jewelry because I love gemstones and beads--the colors, the textures, and the designing. We hand-select our beads and adornments and continually look for
those special beads that make each one of our creations sparkle with that special touch. Every piece in our Studio is handmade from high quality gemstones, beads, and components. I am exacting about the quality of my craftsmanship and never cut corners. In each place, I seek artistic inspiration and the kind of background stories that make a Kristauphe Design so special and educational. Our mission is to create Quality pieces that are wearer-friendly and durable. We strive to make your experience with us the very best possible. We want you to return to our Studio again and again for all your jewelry needs. CHRISTMAS

CHRISTMAS is just around the corner. Let us design something original for you or that special person today! Contact me to discuss your ideas. CUSTOM ORDERS
_______________________________________________________________
Please contact me with any questions or custom orders. I can create a piece for you using your favorite stone or your favorite color, or we can talk and design something together. Custom orders make great gifts--give something handmade and unique! WHOLESALE
_______________________________________________________________
Inquiries gladly accepted. RESERVED/ONE-OF-A-KIND PIECES
_______________________________________________________________
Some of my pieces are one of a kind, and some can be replicated. It just depends on the beads. If you see something you like in the Reserved or Sold sections, just convo me and I'll let you know if I can make another. In many cases I will be able to. PLEASE REVIEW MY STUDIO POLICIES BEFORE PURCHASING YOUR ITEMS. PAYMENT
_______________________________________________________________
Please pay via Pay Pal. You don't need to have a Pay Pal account to pay via credit card. If you wish to pay by money order or check, please convo me for arrangements. We also have a Merchant Account, so if you want to pay with a credit card and don't want to use the credit card option though Pay Pal, "convo" me with your phone number. We will call you and complete the transaction as a telephone-credit card order. PACKAGING

Each piece of jewelry comes in a nice gift box and is padded. If you are sending the item as a gift, please contact me after purchase with the message you want included in the package. (I will also hold off on sending a receipt.) GIFT WRAP
