I am a Bead Star, again!  I entered some pieces in the Bead Star Magazine contest a few months ago. This time I won second place in the Peals category, for my Falling Leaves necklace.  Thanks to all who voted for me.

Welcome to my website! My name is Susan White, and I create all the lampwork glass beads and sterling silver jewellery shown here. I use Italian glass for my beads, and they are carefully kiln annealed for durability. 

I consider myself extremely lucky to be able to work full time at doing something I love. I have been a full-time jewellery designer for 12 years, working with sterling silver mostly. Six years ago, I became frustrated because I couldn't find the beads I wanted for my sterling silver jewellery (I hadn't discovered Ebay at that point).

I had always been intrigued by glass beadmaking, so decided to take a one-day class at our local glass studio. Well, one week later I had my torch and my studio all set up and had begun my obsession with glass. The silver work has definitely taken a back seat to beadmaking, but it is handy to showcase my beads.

So, my life now consists of making beads, which I sell or make into jewellery to sell.  Check out my Glass Beads and Jewellery page to see what I have available to buy now.  And, if you would like a custom order of beads, have a look at my Gallery page or contact me.
