Although her career was in public relations, her transition to jewellery-making wasn’t difficult. She had studied art and design and enjoys beautiful jewellery. “The design process has always been very exciting to me,” says Suzanne. “I love to see where a design will take me; I don’t always know before I begin.”
Her passion for jewellery-making surfaced when she came across a stunningly stone necklace at an upscale Manhattan department store. “I remember how enamored I was with the necklace. It was made with the most exquisite semi-precious stones. I loved everything about them — their shape, size, colours and even their texture,” she said. The necklace was beyond her price range, and nothing else came close. “I returned to the store twice hoping for a sale, but no such luck! Then I decided to make it myself. It worked. The experience was so enjoyable I made this my second career.” The compliments she received for her first necklace confirmed she was on the right track. Before long she launched Gemstone Gallery and its website: mygemstonesgallery.com.
Italian Design Bead Jewellery
In Italy, beads are everywhere in the shop windows. However, beaded jewellery is not cheap like in the UK. Most necklaces in these window-pictures are around €75 – and the Murano glass beads are €9 each, that’s per bead not string!
Glass rods are made like candy rock with multiple colours. The colours at this stage are only viewable from the ends. The bead maker then cuts thin slices off while the glass is still hot and press them down to form mosaic patterns.
On Murano Island, signs say the beads ‘Aren’t Chinese’. However, although the beads are made locally, they look exactly the same as we buy in China! Click to see our Millefiori Beads and our many Glass Beads.
