Greetings!

I'm Ruth Ellen Kostic, owner and artisan of the Crystal Cloister. I design and create each piece of our jewelry. All our creations are made from semi-precious gemstone beads, pearls, sterling silver, 14 kt. gold, and other quality components. Much of our jewelry is one of a kind and every item is created with beauty and durability in mind.

The Crystal Cloister is dedicated to:

• Offering distinctive jewelry made from quality components.


• Constructing jewelry made to last. Every single bead is hand strung and every clasp, fastener or knot is carefully placed to ensure strength and durability.


• Our 100% satisfaction guarantee. If within 14 days of purchase you are dissatisfied in any way, return your item for a full refund of the original purchase price.


• Quickly answering your questions, filling your orders, and providing personalized customer service.

The Crystal Cloister is: myself, my partner, Tom, and our greyhound, Merlin. We live and work -- or in Merlin's case, sleep -- in rural central PA. To take a peek at us on our prayer bead website, click on the graphic below.
