BumbleBeads Designs started as a hobby. Since I was little girl, I've always been a crafty person. I've tried oil painting, Chinese brush painting, cross stitching and the list goes on. One summer, I met some wonderful friends who introduced me to some local bead stores and that's when the hobby began. I, then, started selling my jewellery online. At first, most of the listings were earrings but it quickly grew to include necklaces and bracelets.
BumbleBeads Designs' hand knotted jewellery began when I was asked to make a friend's wedding necklace (see picture above). I took a class to learn how to make hand knotted pearl necklaces and loved it! Ever since then, I've made many hand knotted designs including my own bridal jewellery.
How did we get the name BumbleBeads Designs?
Let's just say it was a mixture of a lot of frustration trying to come up with a name and watching "Transformers" the night before.
