I learned to make glass bead earrings from a friend. Working under a magnifying lamp with tiny beads was my physical therapy. After purchasing a semi-precious stone bracelet I began learning about gemstones, their origin and their healing qualities. From bead catalogs I learned how to connect gemstones with wire and findings to make earrings. One Lapis pair of earrings I designed has over 64 parts.
