A Bead Collaboration Brought to You By

Myself, Rick sold my first beaded jewelry on the Umass Amherst College Campus in 1983 and I have not looked back since.

After leaving UMass in 1989 holding a Computer Engineering Degree I started a full time retail and wholesale clothing, jewelry and bead business. Selling wholesale to stores and working the shows and flea markets all over New England and the upstate New York areas. I also have a love for small antiques and collectibles and cannot drive by a antique shop while out on the road.

Now entering my 21st year it only gets better. For me it is the hunt for the new, unique, and different. I still get a charge when finding something I had not seen before.

I also take care of the The Down The Street Bead Show along with Audrey

Audrey after owning and running a restaurant in California for 7 years moved back east and into the jewelry design business. You can find out more on her by clicking on the link Who is Audrey of the beadgarden.emeraldforestjewelry.com
