Ava Motherwell Collection
| Since 1989, I have been traveling across Europe in search of unique vintage and vintage-inspired beads. My journey into the world of beads and jewelry began with upcycling costume jewelry into my own creative designs. I am constantly on the lookout for bold, colorful beads, findings and jewelry components, with a special love for pieces used in costume jewelry from the 1920s to the 1980s. |  |

Priscilla Beads
 |
Our specialty is NATURAL BEADS....beads made from wood, coconut shells, sea shells, horn, bone, etc. but REDEFINED to make them more unique, fashionable and beautiful... Like our wood items, they are made into decoupaged beads and pendants to look more vintage and romantic and fun. Most of all, we take care of the earth by using waste materials from wood...we make beads from wood shavings (sawdust) and hand rolled paper beads from used magazines and catalogs. We hope that you will enjoy our bead collection as much as we enjoy creating them for you... PRISCILLA |
The Rita Okrent Collection

In the 1970's, my mom, Rita Okrent, began makin jewelry and seeking out interesting components to use for her own designs. Soon her collection became a favorite source for antique beads and components for other collectors and designers, Rita traveled the world for her treasures, and was known for her one-of-a-kind and asymmetrical ethnic necklaces. I'm her daughter, Jocelyne. I'm so proud to continue to supply useful and beautiful design elements to our customers worldwide. From one bead comes hundreds of ideas on how to use it! |
