Hi!  My name is Rachelle A. Guidry.  I currently design beaded jewelry.  I like doing it so much I want other people to be able to wear the jewelry I deisgn.  Here's how it all started.

About 2002, I started stringing beads, but they were very simple and I wanted to do more.   Then October 2005, my friend, DJ Hanson, taught me how to use a bead board and how to make the beaded necklaces last for a long time.   Since I make each necklace and earrings individually, I want to make each one different.  I have made over 200 pieces of jewelry and I still enjoy the challenge of making something unique.  I look for ideas to make my designs appear fresh and different.

I design jewelry for men and women.  The men's necklaces come in lengths from 18 inches to 22 inches.  The women's necklaces come in lengths from 18 inches to 30 inches.  I use a variety of beads to design my jewelry.  They include Swarovski or Austrian Crystals, glass Czech beads, foil beads, gemstomes, glass pearl beads and other glass beads.

You can find my handmade jewelry exclusively on my website:  http://www.eHandcraftedJewelry.com
