Lindart Designs is
a designer of handcrafted beaded Jewelry. I design, modify, create,
repair, and
teach all avenues of beaded jewelry making. All the items
are made here in
the USA , in Central New Jersey with the personalized touch.
In 1994 the beading frenzy took me over. I decided to buy a jewelry kit that included beads as well as jewelry making tools. I put together a bracelet and some earrings. I brought my creations to my daytime office job and sold everything that I made. The very next day, I purchased more beads, findings and a jewelry making book. In 1996 I was featured in the Sentinel Newspaper for Monroe Township which allowed me to discuss my dreams of becoming a jewelry artisan. One of my designs was featured in a newsletter that sells charms, beads and other jewelry making materials. I have also done many exhibits including the Jamesburg Public Library where my creations were displayed in their showcase. I also did a bridal show at the Woodbridge, Hilton where the models wore my custom wedding pieces such as matching bridesmaid pearls, bridal earrings and necklaces. Most bridal pieces that you purchase only come in a 16 inch size. We know that all brides need the necklace to sit in the right spot in retrospect to their wedding gown, my custom service can create that perfect look. I took classes which has taught me certain healing properties of gemstones, where they originated from and some of the folklore behind them.  My motto is “Specializing in
Customizing”. I say this because my designs are user
friendly. I always keep in mind that bracelets can sometimes be
difficult to
put on. If you notice, I put a few extra beads around the clasp
or I make them
so they can stretch and have no clasp. If you have severe
arthritis it is
easier to slide on or hold something while trying to clasp
together.In the
past I have worked with women who have had difficulty putting necklaces
on
because they could not raise their arms. I created long,
lightweight necklaces
that required no effort to wear. One of my clients did not have
pierced ears
and she complained that she could not wear long dangling
earrings. I was able
to create long earrings for her and made her very happy. I keep
in mind that
not everyone can not wear jewelry because of some sort of
allergy. One of the
earring wires I work with is called Niobium. Niobium is an
elemental metal which is strong and flexible. It is anodized and
not dyed
which does not cause allergies like most metals. I also use
Sterling Silver as
well as 14kt gold filled wires. Most of my beaded pieces are made
up of glass
beads and genuine gemstones. I guarantee all of my work and if it
comes apart
from normal wear and tear I will either repair it or replace it.
The
most joy I receive is when a customer has had a necklace that
isn’t expensive, but is very sentimental and I will repair it in front
of
them and the joy in their eyes for them to be able to wear it is
wonderful I
can usually repair most costume pieces where a regular jewelry store
would not
touch. In 2006 I graduated from (GIA) Gemology Institute of America
which
certifies me as a Pearl and bead stringer.
