BESTeam Feature :: Luto Jewelry

TEAM TUESDAY
Do you find yourself wanting to accessorize, but not wanting to pay some of the high prices to achieve a complete ensemble? This is exactly what motivated Leonnie to start making jewelry!

In Manchester, England, after frustrations of mounting prices Leonnie began making jewelry for herself before launching her shop, Luto. With help from her boyfriend and testing out Ebay she finally took the plunge into the Etsy world to allow her products worldwide at affordable prices.

Currently, Luto is in the process of a major re-vamp that will end with additional items and gift service. While you are anxiously awaiting these changes take a look at some of my favorite items...then visit Luto and find some favorites of your own!

BESTeam Feature:: Alexander's Designs

This week I bring you a husband and wife team that comprises Alexander's Designs. Here you will find truly unique jewelry created from a blend of Swarovski Crystals, lamp work and glass beads, semi-precious gemstones, sterling silver, fine silver, pewter and gold. The variety of bold colors and simple beauty will be sure to please a broad range of shoppers.

This team loves to create with their hands doing anything from construction work to jewelry making. They certainly sound like a versatile team! Jenny loved drawing and painting for many years until she discovered beads and her love of jewelry making in 2002. Since then she has been creating her own jewelry line with great pride and pleasure coming from seeing others wearing her art.

In 2005 Jenny's husband, Skip, caught the jewelry making bug after attending a lamp work bead class with her. Together they have taken classes in Fused Glass and Borosilicate Glass. They spend many hours working on their skills to bring you beautiful, high quality glass art beads and pendants!
