Patti’s Precious Creations is one of those unique bead jewelry stores that you remember long after your first visit. From her use of high-quality materials, to her beautiful pendants and necklaces to her classy crystal earrings, you’re immediately impressed with sophistication and overall “richness” of each piece. Some of her pieces look like they belong in a high-end fashion magazine while others look like they come from vintage Paris nightclubs! Most of Patti’s Precious Creations feature Swarovski Crystals, czech beads, semi-precious stones of every color and shape and silver clasps.

Like a lot of bead jewelry beginners, Patti started making a wearing a few jewelry pieces and friends began asking her where she found such wonderful jewelry. She admitted that she made it herself and her friends started asking her to do the same for them. It’s hard then to believe that Patti has only been creating jewelry of her own for a little over a year now! And it’s even more amazing to think that Patti hasn’t really had any formal training or taken any professional classes. In Patti’s own words:

I really wasn’t introduced to creating jewelry in any certain way other than one day I went to the library and looked at some beading books. I thought to myself, I CAN DO THAT! So, I bought some simple beads, looked at the pictures in the book and duplicated a necklace. Then tried another, then read up on how to make earrings, and bracelets. Then I got brave and bought some higher quality beads, then Swarovski Crystals, then I started designing my own and here we are!

Her confidence grew as the orders from friends kept coming in and she began selling her jewelry at a flea markets and few local stores. Patti understands that sell bead jewelry successfully in today’s market you almost have to have a professional looking website, and she has a great one!

When you first visit Pattispreciouscreations.com you are immediately struck by the colors she chooses for her website. Instead of simply using black text on a white background Patti grabs your attention with an elegant rich-looking blue font on a black background that completely captivates the eye! She easily breaks her jewelry down into simple categories such as Necklaces and Earrings and has an amazing variety and selection of pieces available to purchase at very affordable prices. Her site will also mention if there are matching earrings for a necklace piece, which I always appreciate! If you don’t find exactly what you want, you can often have colors substituted or pieces customized to your liking. Shopping for bead jewelry on all website should be this easy!

Each piece on her site is featured in a sharp, colorful large photo accompanied by detailed photos showing the clasp and other details as needed. And I absolutely love the way she stages her photos, often with a vintage piece of glassware or china just on the edge to give the entire piece a sense of elegance and “belonging” in the world of dinner parties and black-tie affairs and nights at the theater!

Patti knows that running a bead jewelry business takes a lot of time and energy and she’s still learning as she expands her business. Like many of us, she’s using her bead jewelry business to help her have more time with her family. Patti has some recommendations for other bead jewelry artists who are looking to start their own business:

Running a jewelry business is exciting, challenging and rewarding all at the same time. Just remember, if you have no employees such as myself, you’re wearing many different hats, so don’t get frustrated and don’t expect for sales to reach the maximum overnight. Learn all you can and remember…You don’t have to be great to start, but you have to start to be great.

Patti’s elegant and professional jewelry, her impressive and easy-to-use website and her positive attitude can be an inspiration to us all!
