I "LOVE" and truly enjoy making jewelry. I seem to design more timeless & somewhat classical pieces. Although I do enjoy some whimsy!
I use handcrafted lampwork or polymer clay beads or focals in my designs making the jewelry true "One of a kind" works of wearabe art. No two designs are alike.
Wonderful jewelry for bead collectors & jewelry lovers alike!
I hand pick each gemstone, pearl, bead, etc...to ensure the quality of each piece. I only use the finest quality lampwork I can obtain from well known lampwork artists.
I no longer have a website as it took just too much time to maintain. I sell to specialized boutiques, resorts and through parties.
If there is any interest in any of my designs please feel free to email me at SuzanneinAZ@cox.net.
I also welcome feedback and or comments on my designs.
Enjoy the eye candy shown on this wonderful site. I will be uploading more designs as soon as I am able.

I made this set as a gift to my long lost best friend. Her Birthstone is Amethyst, so I used beautiful Ametyst stones of various shapes, swarovki crystals, and a dangle of Peace. I used Sterling Silver chain to form the Lariat, and Thai silver in between the stones. Happy 50th Birthday Gift!

Luminetta is the name of another wonderful Karen Lorraine original bead. I also used handcrafted lampwork beads with droplets of silver by Blue Heeler Glass.
I tried a new type of design this time. The necklace goes over the head, with no clasp.
The colors of all of the beads, pearls, crystals & semi-precous stones match the bead to perfection!

Re-working a piece. When I first purchased this focal handrafted bead by Karen Lorraine, I knew I just had to keep this one. The orignal style I dssigned was pretty, but I wanted something I could wear more often, so I re-worked the piece, I love it even more now! I have finally decided to part with this wonderful piece, & share the beauty with someone else. purchase information located on website. A TRUE collectable work of art jewelry!
This piece has found a new home!

Suzanne creates flattering wearable art
Suzanne has a way of making artist made beads into wearable works of art. Making portable art is as natural to her as breathing. I'm so flattered to have my beads included in her work. Making the beads is very satisfying for me, but seeing them in Suzanne's creations always thrills me. ~ Karen Lorraine
