As she gained more confidence in her skill and style, Cathy attracted more clients who appreciated her eye for gemstones and semi-precious stones paired with Swarovski Austrian crystals and other materials. As the buyer and designer, she loves choosing the beautiful and unique findings in sterling silver, pewter, gold vermeil, or other metals that become part of The Elegant Bead creation. She delights in finding unexpected treasures, and is inspired by her travels, interior design, and fashion.

Cathy has had many clients since the very beginning who continue to buy jewelry from The Elegant Bead for themselves and as gifts for others. She encourages her clients to wear the jewelry pieces that highlight their own individuality and style. She is delighted to share her creations with her customers to suit their desires and loves working with customers to find jewelry for their everyday wear as well as special occasions!

Cathy knew early on that she wanted The Elegant Bead to be a one-of-a-kind line, and that still holds true today! The Elegant Bead jewelry stands the test of time with wearable art pieces that are just as fashionable today as when they were created.

The Elegant Bead collections have been featured in many resorts in Phoenix, and in the Artisan Center in Cherry Creek North. The Elegant Bead also appears regularly at holiday gift shows in the Denver area.
