I collect second-hand and vintage glass and gemstone beads to rework into new designs to give them another life.

I have been a jeweller, working in gold and silver for 20+ years and have just recently discovered the joy of beads. I bought three boxes of beads at a makers' de-stash sale with the intention of making myself a couple of necklaces but now I can't stop!

I have been focussing on using second-hand and vintage beads where possible, giving them another life, there are enough of them out there to keep me going for a very long time!
