A registered nurse named Pam is the vision behind Gifted Hands.  This talented lady began making jewelry about 4 years ago and her friends and family couldn’t get enough!  This encouraged her to take her talent to the world and we are very appreciative.

Her designs feature beautiful beaded jewelry from glass, gemstones, crystals, and anything else that catches her eye.  Her designs are beautifully put together with an eye for detail and color.

Gifted Hands makes everything from earrings, necklaces and bracelets galore!  She even had put her beading talent into her clasp.

Many of the designs by Gifted Hands would be perfect for everyday wear; but look again; how about a gift for a bridesmaid?  These designs are just dainty enough for a wedding, but with a touch of color and flair to give your day a bit of personality.  Of course, there is nothing wrong with picking out a treat for yourself either!
