Once Upon A Time in Pearl City, Oahu

My name is Cecelia and I have been beading for many years. My "sweeter" half, Ken, is also a beaded jewelry maker. I have been making and selling jewelry here on Maui for many years. I sell at both craft fairs and stores here. I have a passion for beads and creating unusual one of a kind pieces, and I hope that it shows in my work. I use the finest materials available, and am always taking classes to improve my work.

I wish that I could regale you with passionate stories of my struggles, and heartaches, trials and tribulations that bring me to this wonderful and exciting point in my life and career...But I am just a happy Woman, living in a beautiful place that gives me inspiration with color and design. I do not have the gift of gab to entice you to buy my jewelry, I want you to buy it because it is beautiful or just the right color, or will bring you joy. And I am a Virgo that struggles to make each piece as perfect and longlasting as I can!

My walls are covered with jewelry, both mine and my collection. I never hide my jewelry away in boxes, I love to have them sparkle all around me. I got this from my Mother, we used to spend hours on her bed when I was a child, touching and enjoying each sparkling piece of jewelry that she owned, "This belonged to your Grandmother, this one to your Great Aunt Emmaroy Victoria" and on and on. Not the crown jewels, no, but beautiful crystal, lovely soft glass pearls, a piece with a tiny chip of sapphire, saved and loved over a lifetime.

That is what jewelry means to me...
