In the mid -90’s, I took a beading class with my good friend, Rosalie. I made
small gifts but never really engaged in jewelry making as a business.
In 2002, after my father passed away,
my mother requested a crystal set of Rosary Beads. My brother, Marc, could not find just the right ones.
Hence, the journey began. Together, my brother and I chose the antique Austrian crystals, the gold
cross and center; after much practice, I wired them together.
After that, I found myself making
Rosary Beads for the special persons in my life. I began researching the metaphysical properties that God
endowed certain stones with and chose stones that would enhance my Rosaries for the people in my life.
Today, I teach numerous classes at
La
Mia Felicita in Plaistow, NH.

My classes include: The Fundamentals of Beading, chain mail earrings, bracelets and anklets,
Creating Just the Right Clasp, Wire-wrapped Pendants, Multi-strand Chokers, Rosary Beads.
I have continued to fashion jewelry and enjoy helping people
find just the right jewelry for
a special outfit or occasion;
creating rosary beads remains a passion.
