Handcrafted bead jewelry can be casual or formal, classic or contemporary, delicate or funky, muted or vibrant. Beaded products of all types are available from the talented artist, Laura Miller, creator of the Queen Bead line of jewelry.

Laura, a pediatric nurse, was introduced to beading by a patient's mother. She soon was stringing pieces as a hobby for herself and friends. As the word spread, she expanded the line and decided to retail her distinctive products exclusively through Serendipity.

Natural semi-precious stones including amethyst, garnet, turquoise, fresh water pearls, and others, combined with famous Swarovski precision-cut crystal beads from Austria, are strung on strong flexible sterling silver and gold-filled or plated jewelry wires. The designs and materials, some of which are recycled from antique jewelry, are organic and beautiful.

Queen Bead products are reasonably priced. Forty percent of each sale goes to Serendipity's support of local, national, and world-wide charities. All styles of earrings and bracelets are priced in the $10 to $45 range. Necklaces, including pendants, lariats, and chokers, run between $40 and $100 depending on materials. Other popular items, such as unique beaded bookmarks are available for as little as $8 each.

Queen Bead still creates custom-made jewelry that perfectly matches individual needs. Choice of styles, materials, and colors results in a special piece to complement an outfit or enhance a mood. Stop by the store to view the display of Queen Bead products and learn more about this exciting jewelry.
