About BeadBear.com
Welcome to www.beadbear.com, the online boutique for A.R.T. Precious Collectible Jewelry. My name is Anne Renée Timmons-Harris and I have collected antique glass beads and unusual beads of all kinds from around the world for over thirty years.I use antique and contemporary Venetian, French, Dutch, Bohemian and Turkish glass beads to make necklaces, bracelets, earrings and other unusual ornaments. Precious and semi-precious gemstones of the highest quality, gold and silver are used to accent. Quality craftsmanship distinguishes my work from the rest.
Many of the beads I collect and trade are malocchio beads (Italian for "evil eye") and millifiori ("thousand flowers" a stylized variation of the eye theme) beads. Eye beads reflect a tradition dating back to 3000 B.C. These beads were worn to promote good luck, and for protection from misfortune (the evil eye or malocchio). Archeological evidence suggests that concepts linking eyes and protective magic to beads evolved in western Asia and Africa, and were carried west and east with developing trade routes. The oldest eye beads made were drilled stones like agate and carnelian.
Each bead is knotted into place by hand, for strength and durability. I knot with braided kevlar, linen or silk. If the cord should break, I will re-string it free.
Wear Your Beads in Good Fortune! You are no longer limited to the mass-produced items found in jewelry and department stores. pearls with Venetian glass pendant
