More Than 4,000 Beads

Anna of A Rose by Name creates lovely beaded earrings, bracelets, and necklaces, as well as lip balm holders, card cases, and key chains. But my absolute favorites are her beaded candle holders: each one contains well over 4,000 beads, all woven and stitched by hand.

Inspired Jewelry by Ann Burke

Beadwork amazes me. I don't have the patience to work with hundreds (thousands!) of tiny beads, arranging them in a precise pattern, stringing, knotting, and whatever else is involved. I know I'd end up knocking them all over the floor, then stepping on them for days because I wouldn't want to vacuum them up.

Ann Burke's shop is filled with so many beautiful and mesmerizing items that I couldn't pick just a few to feature here. Browse her collection, but be prepared to be dazzled. Each piece is unique, and what could be better than owning a one-of-a-kind bracelet or pair of earrings?
