I am not new to the jewelry world. My name is Rita and I owned Beads, etc. in Eastdale Mall, Montgomery, Alabama for twenty-two years. I sold the business three years ago and have been enjoying my retirement by making handmade jewelry. It was once told to me that you will do well in what you love to do and I found out that color coordinating jewelry with clothes was my passion. It was so fulfilling to match jewelry to new outfits, suggest styles and shapes according to someone's facial structure-or suggest a great gift. Yes, I had found my niche. I still have this great passion for jewelry, so I decided to continue in that field and began to make handmade gemstone jewelry. Please peruse through a few of my treasures and I hope you will find something you can't live without! These are just a few of the many pieces I have and I can create a custom piece just for you.
