Gorgeous Beadwork In My Etsy Cart

I love supporting fellow crafters in their work, especially when it comes to jewelry and beadwork, as I have not yet mastered the skill sets to create everything I want to wear. In my opinion, one can never have too much jewelry and my Etsy favorites list is full of amazing pieces that I am just waiting to pounce on. I was scrolling through my favorites and decided to do a deep dive into the hundreds that I loved.

My Etsy cart and favorites include crafters from all over the world. I’ve compiled my top four favorite beaded pieces from independent artists that have quickly become my favorite Etsy shops.

Jewelry + Kits from Artists on Etsy

Hand Beaded Abstract Tube Necklace from Lost Thread Weaving on Etsy

The Hand Beaded Abstract Tube Necklace, from Lost Thread Weaving is on my favorite list. It combines warm and cool colors with a gold chain that adds a delicate touch. The colors make it perfect for summer and remind me of the beach. The shop is based in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada and is owned by an amazing crafter. This necklace is not the only item in her shop on my favorite list, there are many amazing earrings from her shop in addition to the necklaces.

Kumihimo Lucky Fish Necklace from Ancientmoon Designs on Etsy

Ancientmoon Designs, based in Massachusetts, has multiple kits on her Etsy shop, my favorite being the Kumihimo Lucky Fish Necklace. When I was a child, my favorite animal was a fish. I had a “fishy blanket” and even today, though my favorite animal has changed, my favorite shirt I own has fish on it. This kit builds a necklace that would make the perfect addition to my growing jewelry collection.

Sun and Crescent Moon Earrings from Boosiko on Etsy

My earrings collection has grown rapidly over the last year, but I will not stop buying more. Earrings are my weakness, and I do not own enough beaded earrings to feel satisfied. Boosiko, an Etsy shop based in Ukraine, is a tempting store. Every pair of earrings that I see, I want, but the Sun and Cresent Moon Earrings are at the top of my list. The colors and design are just perfection!

Cats, Cats, Cats Loom Beaded Bracelet from Pam’s Beaded Treasure on Etsy

It is not often that I wear bracelets, but when I do, I like to make sure they’re fun! The Cats, Cats, Cats Loom Beaded Bracelet, from Pams Beaded Treasure, based in Pennsylvania, certainly fits my criteria. As a lover of cats, I will proudly wear anything with cats on it. The bracelet features varying colors of cats and includes a cat on the chain. This shop is full of other creative beaded bracelets and wire jewelry to add to your favorites.

I know that I am not the only one with a plethora of favorites and items in their Etsy cart. Etsy is a crafter’s and craft lover’s dream. The platform allows small businesses from all over the world to share their love of crafting and is a wonderful place to find other independent artists to support.
