History
My name is Melanie. I started the Bead Co from scratch 15 years ago {you get extra credit if you now say 'you mean when you were 18?} after creating a jewelry line and selling my wares to small shops and at arts & crafts shows across the country. Now we have an arts & crafts show and jewelry workshop collaboration daily! I am blessed with amazing customers, wonderful staff, & a continual passion for helping, learning & creating. I love, love, love doing custom work more than anything. Bring in the kiddos for fingerprints, bring in Great-Grandma's jewelry so we can help repurpose it, bring Dad's signature so we can create a pure silver pendant from it's exact mold ... these are the things I love and I can promise it will show in your new gift or creation. You have choices, let us prove we're a great one!
