As many of you have come to realize, I love jewelry and any and everything recycled. So, with that being said, I had to feature today’s Etsy shop, the Bead Girl. The shop’s owner, Lisa, creates each piece using “100% recycled and eco friendly silver, as well as copper, gold and gemstones to create wearable pieces of art jewelry.” Trust me, she makes some wonderful pieces of art!

Leather Wrap Bracelet

Leather is totally in this season, if I do say so myself. And I love the beads on this bracelet and the inspirational message of “enough.” Sometimes I need little reminders that I am strong enough, smart enough, etc. Not only is this bracelet stylish, but it is full of positive encouragement. That is a huge bonus! And, if you’d like another saying, that isn’t a problem at all! Lisa is happy to accommodate. Just let her know what you’d like your bracelet to say. I’m sure whatever you choose it will be wonderful.

 Copper Butterfly Necklace

I love  the twist on this necklace. I love butterflies, but sometimes I worry if they look too childish on me. This, however, is a grown-up way to still show off your love of butterflies while adding an awesome piece of jewelry to your wardrobe. LOVE. This listing is for the chain and pendant. However, if you are just interested in the pendant, that is totally possible too!

Personalized Hand Stamped Necklace

I keep seeing hand stamped jewelry all over the place. I love it every time I see it. This necklace would be the perfect gift for mom or grandma. I know mine would love this! Or even a mom to be!

Lisa was kind enough to answer some questions. Enjoy!

1. What is your favorite piece in your collection?

I think I just made my favorite ring last night!

2. Where do you get your inspiration from?

Everywhere! Colors. Nature. Other pieces of art. Actually, the stones “speak” to me too. True story!

3. What was the first piece of jewelry you ever created?

Earrings. I wanted to learn to do those fancy wire wrapped endings!

4. What has been your most difficult piece to make?

Stone setting is always stressful. Getting the bezels just right. then having the stone fit the setting perfectly. Always makes me uptight…yet I love it!

5. What is your favorite material to work with? (ie. silver, leather, beads, etc).

I love working with silver sheet. I love the transformation either through sawing, hammering or firing. so many options out of something so simple!

Thanks Lisa!
