GET TO KNOW OUR DESIGNER!

I’m always curious when Veronka is designing: thanks to embracing her own style so early on her beading journey, without following lots of classes and tutorials from fellow designers, she continuously manages to transform her creative energy into beautiful, innovative pieces. Her favorites are unique bezels created from lots of sparkly components: cabochons, beads, sew-on components, in combination with different shaped glass beads and Japanese seed beads, of course.

Veronka says: ‘Seeing you being happy with a jewel that you created is a truly rewarding feeling for me. This job is a dream coming true, as I got to work with what is my passion, and I have a really supportive team.’

ABOUT THE TAMARA BRACELET

Veronka’s tutorial will show you how to create the motif and connect separate filigree components using sparkly navette cabochons. ✨ Make a simple bracelet variation, pendant, earring, or connect several elements into a statement necklace.

Fun fact about many of Veronka’s designs – she let her children to choose the main bead shapes for some of her jewels. The motif for Tamara bracelet was named after her daughter.
