Meet the Maker
Hi, Welcome to my shop!
I’m Jane, a Minnesota wife and mom and the maker at HandHeartBeads. I became fascinated with beads and stones as a young girl, minored in art and design in college, and rediscovered my love of beads in 2017. I began experimenting with various bead weaving techniques of peyote, brick and chenille stitches. My craft is a slow one, creating earrings and necklaces one bead at a time utilizing needle, nylon thread and brass wire.
My inspiration comes from interesting shapes and the interplay of colors that we see in places and objects surrounding us. I am also inspired by nature – flowers, mountains and landscapes. I love creating unique wearable art. I make pieces meant to inspire and uplift you.
For over three years I have donated a portion of the profits from my earring sales to support children's causes and will continue to donate to worthy charities. I am so happy that goimagine also donates to help our future generations.
Enjoy perusing my shop and thanks for stopping by!
From my Hands to your Heart, Jane
How it’s Made
My jewelry making of earrings and necklaces is truly a labor of handmade love. I hand-weave Japanese glass seed beads with needle and nylon thread one bead at a time, utilizing various stitches of peyote, brick and chenille. I hand-shape brass wire into loops and one-of-a kind sculpted shapes. Each jewelry piece is lovingly crafted by my hands for you to enjoy!

Jewelry Care
Your beaded jewelry is made to last, but as always, with handmade products, taking proper care will ensure their longevity. Your jewelry is made with delicate Japanese glass seed beads which are fragile and should be handled with care. The best practice is to put your earrings or necklace on after you have applied makeup, hairspray, perfume, etc. as these may affect the finish, luster and beauty of the beads. Metal jewelry components may patina over time. Brass may be cleaned using a jewelry polishing cloth. Always wear the clear earring backs that are provided to prevent accidental loss.
How should I store my earrings?
It is best to hang your beaded earrings or store them flat.
Can I keep the earrings on while I shower/swim?
Your beaded pieces will survive a dip or two; however, moisture can affect particular bead finishes and thread tension. Please allow your pieces to air dry completely. Do not use heat. Avoid saltwater exposure.
