FAQs
- How did you get started doing this type of work?
I got into my line of work from doing Home party demonstrations for 9 years. I worked doing Pearls in the Oyster, plus I've always loved Gemstones. Through this I took a course with the GIA to be pearl certified and the love of Gemstones, I became self taught. I started to research and go to bead shows and falling in love with all the natural colors that come from our earth, gave me that boost i needed. I started by making small things to use as incentives for my hostesses to book a party and everyone loved it so I continued. When leaving the home party world, I still continued to shop and buy pearls and Gems and made things as gifts for family and to sell at fairs.
