A request for charitable help from a very dear friend opened a whole new avenue for design — Swarovski crystal jewelry and apparel.
Jenny
Page, owner of Beads for Needs, specializes in designing and making
custom jewelry using Swarovski crystals, semi-precious gemstones,
pearls, 14K gold and Sterling Silver and Swarovski embellished apparel.
“The jewelry and apparel I make is comprised of the best quality elements. I am a
direct client of the Swarovski factory in Austria, so, all of our
crystals are in perfect condition. And we are also on the forefront of
the new product launches from Swarovski. So, we always have the
hottest, most exciting jewels that really make my unique designs
sparkle.
Swarovski is the luxury brand name for the range of precision-cut
crystal glass products produced by Swarovski AG of Feldmeilen, near
Zürich, Switzerland. Swarovski crystals maximize refraction. In order
to create a crystal that allows light to refract in a rainbow spectrum,
Swarovski coats some of its crystals with special metallic chemical
coatings. Aurora Borealis is one of the most popular coatings, and
gives the surface a rainbow oil slick appearance. When Swarovski was
created, the magic word was crystal. A raw material, which even the
most ancient cultures ascribed beneficial, valuable, indeed miraculous
properties. This fascinating material transformed the world of fashion
and beauty into a seductively sparkling universe. It inspired the human
race and enriched both art and culture. Today crystals have become part
of the connection between people.
My jewelry and apparel, created with Swarovski Crystals, is striking and will make
you stand out in the crowd. A brilliant design choice.
I have found a niche in designing and making jewelry. For years I have
worked from home while raising our children and volunteering in the
community. A request for charitable help from a very dear friend opened
a whole new avenue for design — jewelry. As a woman with a loving and
supportive husband and two healthy wonderful children, I feel blessed
to have all of the good things I have in my life. There are so many
others who are not this lucky. This is where BFN comes in. I have found
that I can reach out to more people through BFN than I have ever been
able to touch personally. Just last weekend, at the Westfield Relay for
life, I had cancer survivors flocking to my table to share their
experiences with me. The money we were able to raise through selling
jewelry that day benefited so many more people than I could have ever
helped on a personal level.
We have customers that utilize BFN as their own personal custom
jeweler. We take orders over the phone, at festivals, via the Internet
and in person at the studio in my home. We have been commissioned by
The Amaya Hess Foundation, The American Cancer Society, Paracletian, a
Junior League beneficiary, and many Relay for Life events in Indiana
and Kentucky. We have also been asked to help with fundraisers for
schools and hospitals.
Beads for Needs creates awareness pieces or customized pieces for
special events. Or sometimes we’ll just sell our unique designs at an
event and then donate a portion of the proceeds to benefit that
charity. We specialize in providing exquisite jewelry pieces to
charities in need of donation items. These charities are then able to
raise funds without any outlay of expense. These “needs for beads”
fulfill my need to give back and do the right thing!
Whether it be Mother’s bracelets, sorority bracelets, hope and
awareness bracelets, bridal jewelry, Grandmother bracelets, little
girl/baby bracelets, dog/cat/pet bracelets, holiday bracelets, memorial
bracelets, sports jewelry, I have something for everyone.
We
love meeting customers at private shows, then creating the pieces they
have ordered for themselves or to give as a gift. Unfortunately, it is
not always possible to meet everyone in person. It has been fun making
contact via e-mail as friends of customers have also placed orders. We
will continue to give each order personal attention!
Sometimes
new designs are developed from feedback at shows or suggestions we
receive. This makes the creative process such fun because of the
different viewpoints that come together in one piece.
To
protect the components of the jewelry, please do not use chemicals to
clean the pieces or expose them to household cleansers. Wearing the
jewelry will maintain its lustre naturally. However, you may wipe the
silver with a silver cleaning cloth if you wish. Enjoy!
Thank you for your interest in our jewelry and we look forward to hearing from you.
All styles can be made in any color, bracelet, necklace or earrings.
