About Me

I'm no longer selling jewelry under my web site; however, if you are interesting in knowing more about, or purchasing any of the jewelry or specimens posted under MyPhotos and I'll be glad to give you more info. We will ship! These are one-of-a-kind jewelry designs made by me and some of my team at the store. All items are very reasonably priced. If you are interested in a custom piece, let me know!Visit my store for tons of BEADS and supplies or visit the on line store to purchase beautiful, gemstone, one-of-a-kind jewelry designs! www.gemsandwhims.comAbout 6 or 7 years ago (wow--can't believe it's been that long ago!)I decided to make my own jewelry. My "day job" can be extremely stressful and I found beading to be a great way to relax, so I started beading for therapy. "My own jewelry" started taking over so much room in my house, I started selling it out of the trunk of my car. My trunk got full, I rented a small store space. Now that store is too full, so I (now "we"--as in my several employee/friends)have moved to a larger store (same location, bigger space for more stuff)! We've been spreading the "beading addiction"---and trust me, it IS addicting!If you are looking for BEADS, this is the place! You will find HUNDREDS and HUNDREDS of natural gemstone beads in all shapes and sizes, plus a large selection of sterling silver, vermeil, gold-fill and copper findings. We can help you create your OWN jewelry!You'll also find splendid mineral specimens and geodes, amethyst churches, agate slabs, stone candle holders, lamps and windchimes.Other great gifts include hand-made purses and accessories from Guatemala, hand-made scarves, hats and gloves, framed antique linen postcards depicting scenes from this region, beautiful matted photographs, ready for framing and of course, WHIMS!We have layaway and GIFT CERTIFICATES!CHECK OUT OUR PICS AND IF YOU CAN'T VISIT IN PERSON, VISIT US AT: WWW.GEMSANDWHIMS.COM
